and just because i have been wanting to say it and she brought autism (or what i think is she is referring to autism) autism and autism spectrum are not different, they are the same. autism is a spectrum disorder, high to low. and you can not discipline autism away. very few therapies have...

i am really going to try to show some restraint here, which i haven't always done in this thread, parents of the disabled sometimes have difficulty doing so (and just about everyone hates me for it) so...YOU!! know nothing about disabilities YOU have no right to judge me YOU seem like the one...

I really hope I am reading it wrong. I applaud you for what you do and do not want to see anyone hurt. Teachers do receive special training, specifically to which restraining techniques to use and when to use them. I don't think the public in general has any clue about these techniques, and I...

Umm really???? That has to be the stupidest yet on this thread, and that is saying A LOT! There have been many negative comments, misinformed comments (especially the ones how we, parents, should discipline away the autism, people yelling bad stuff at our kids, KIDS!!) Are you really...

Two problems I see with the DAC or DAS (whichever they are calling it) is ..... -The "zig-zagging" when getting a time and having to come back. It sounds like a lot of work. -Checking in at the ride and having to come back. It has been mentioned many times that the person on the card does not...

Please don't compare the problems of the disabled, ie; autism, cp, and those in wheelchairs to the "problems" faced by young children or your foot ache. Come on, it is disrespectful and just dumb.

thank you again, and to amplify your point....I am a single mom of two, so our group is 3, my older son has aspergers and my younger son has autism. we never get to the parks before 2 and then figure in dinner, fireworks and parades, and at least 2 hours for the bathroom. of course you are...

yes, you are the voice of reason, when i get very emotional over very callous people making comments that i take as "hostile" and have been referred to as a troll for expressing how i feel, and others have referred to parenting, etc. just sick of it, there is no empathy at all, and yet you...

Please show me some data on this. I read the article posted on here, that said the abusers were not to blame, it was the overwhelming use by disabled that Disney was unable to handle. Not fabricated FOTL by people with autism. Even if there is data, which I think you will not find, autism is...

Thank you for this post, I think it is very respectful in everything but "If a family can't handle Disney without a GAC, maybe your family does not need to go". I am paraphrasing, but I do not agree. Because Disney has offered this many families have been going for years. My kids love it, I...

First, I would like to say again that I am OK with the change. I hope sometime soon Disney would allow an electronic check in instead of going to the ride. Waiting is always a problem and parents deal with it differently. For us, we try to avoid them as much as possible. For instance, I...

Your views about autism are pretty narrow, I wish you knew more about the disorder and what the parents go through.

First, I am in favor of the change and also want the abuse to stop. My point was about people saying negative things about people with disabilities. Second, how is it cheating if my children are truly disabled and the pass was authorized by Disney? Third, your post really makes my point.

I apologize for mistaking you for someone who said they work for the school system.

all i can say is Thanks! i hope i am taking your comment correctly in that people need to be nicer to each other, if no other time than when they are at disney.

only people without disabilities or abusers call it a golden ticket, i honestly never heard that till this thread yes! that is what i am saying! i have 2 sons with autism and want the abuse to stop and am willing to accept the changes, the naysayers, ie typical parents keep complaining and...

I am new here and have already said that I am in favor of the DAS, but people on here....what they don't know..is a lot!

ok jimbo, some of can't afford a month at Disney, you obviously can according to your post, but you still have problems with people with disabilities? lol!!!! I think we are getting a better picture of entitlement vs. empathy....i got it... how dare these "people" take away from my...

I will agree with you, you are unsympathetic, and it scares me that you have anything to do with kids with disabilities in the school system. You seem to have a very negative attitude, which is not what I would expect from someone who claims to deal with kids with disabilities, disturbing. I...
