He is autistic, his behaviour is typical of some people who have autism....My son does not like headphones, hats, or sunglasses..For a while, he did not want to wear socks or shoes, and yes, he has autism...It’s unfortunate that mom did not call the park ahead of time to ask whether they would have to wear a mask...And to those who would say keep your kid at home, how are they to learn to behave in public if they stay cooped up at home.
sadly save your breath a whole bunch of a$$holes here could not care less.
The reason I implied some blame on mom was because her over-the-top reaction to a typical first-world problem. What else sets her off and is it healthy for a very young child to have to deal with?
Doesn't an amusement park seem like a huge leap? Wouldn't a smaller, initial, desensitizing step seem more appropriate, something like a Walgreens or a McDonalds, working up to wearing protective clothing one article at a time?
It sounds as if the mother has a chip on her shoulder.
