Dwight Meredith at PLA shares the rules for eating at a restaurant with an autistic child. One of my favorite lines from the post:
If all else fails, use the Blues Brothers gambit. "If you hassle us, we will bring our kids back here three times a day until we are your only customers. If you let us finish our meal in (relative) peace, when we walk out the door, you will never see us again.Having been a participant in numerous outings with my nephew, I only wish we had known about that little piece of advice. Dwight actually sent me a link to another post from a high order autistic teen, but I'm saving that one for tomorrow.
On a related note, please visit Mary Beth at Wampum who is participating in the Blogathon for another fine Autism organization: Cure Autism Now (CAN).
