Fred Harteis News Articls - I recently read an article regarding an autistic boy being banned from church in Minneosta because he was "disruptive" during mass. See below:
The Reverend Daniel Walz sought and was awarded, a temporary restraining order barring a 13 year-old autistic boy (Adam Race) and his parents from attending the mass services offered at the Church of St. Joseph in Bertha.
In court documents, Rev. Daniel Walz claimed that Adam was “…disruptive and dangerous…”. He added that “…Adam spits, urinates and once struck a child during Mass”. Adam’s mother, Carol Race, argued that she, “..can't discipline him out of his autism…”. The family also added that they, “…typically sat in either the church's cry room or in the back pew to avoid disrupting other parishioners”.
This article is very interesting... How would you like your child to be treated in these circumstances and do you feel the court made the right decision?
My daughter recently had an autistic boy join her day care and was very nervous and scared because he sometimes screams and yells duing the day. We explained to her that he sometimes can't express his feelings like she can express hers and that is how he reacts to certain circumstances.
If my daycare provider did not take him in he would have had no were else to go, no other child card provider wanted to take him. I felt really bad for his family. They are treated so differently.
