[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Clearly someone with autism, OP, but I agree that this does not make it right. I'm assuming the parents are just glad to get their teen engrossed in something wholesome and not acting out too much - ie, this teen is capable of behaving much worse in other situations. I have a teen with autism. He's high-functioning and quiet. This teen sounds more affected. I have a neighbor with a non-verbal autistic teen, one that is liable to elope, scream and hit. It's so, so, so difficult. I'm sorry you were bothered in your enjoyment of the show. I can also guess at this family's daily challenges. There are no right answers, sometimes. [/quote] If your kid is likely to touch others the very least you can do is create a buffer between them and other people which sounds like it was perfectly doable in this situation. Why wouldn't the family do that?[/quote]
