If her child suffered from any other malady...this would not be news...at all
Basically, it would have been tough toenails...suck it up...
Autism is becoming "cause celeb"...
I legitimately don’t care about autism, peanut allergies, gluten free, etc. campaigns. Most people involved are so self righteous and demeaning to others.
Just last week I saw a “mother” ask a store clerk if they carried a gluten-free version of some item. They politely said they did not nor could they order any, and suggested the customer contact the corporate office to make a product request.
The mother than proceed to tell the child, in front of the clerk “Let’s go somewhere where everyone cares about real people” and flipped the clerk the bird. I was nearby and said to the clerk, with the crazy mother still present, “great job at begin professional with someone like that, I will let you manger know.” She told me to “go F**k yourself” and stomped off.
