But then, you are not autistic, nor do you understand what autism is. Maybe you should do your homework a little bit more before you post rude comments about handicapped people. Do some thinking or you will become so stupid and cynical that you self destruct.

To the Mom of autistic kid:

He was quoting the article, not poking fun at the kids' disability. I believe you should have read the article he mentioned before going off on him.
As him, I believe it's moronic to drive across the state for some donuts. I also believe hat standing in line 13 days before the store opening is idiotic, regardless of who you are, just like I think that those who camp out for movie tickets before a premier are idiots.
Are you going to lash out at me as well?

I know several parents of autistic children and they will be the first to admit that their children like wacky stuff that seem ridiculous to the average person. Grin and bear it is a good phrase to live by when you are the parent of a special needs child. I know because I am one.

Advice to mom: If you cannot cope with others thinking that driving to every Krispy Kreme within 100 miles is odd or even extreme, then I suggest talking to a family therapist who specializes in seeing families with special needs children.

Leaving my name up because I stand by what I say... :)

To someone with common sense and Pam,

Perhaps you should read the article in question before you start "lashing out." It is apparent that you didn't. (By the way, if you consider what I wrote this morning to be "lashing out" I have a bridge in Arizona I want to sell you.)

I am intimately familiar with the article about autism and the Krispy Kreme, thanks.

I am glad you are defending your friend, but I don't think he needs your help. He is doing fine in explaining himself and what he was thinking. Please read latest post.

You also don't have to be quite so rude with your reply.

By the way, the mom in question did not "stand in line". She was in a camper with internet access, tv, cell phone, and hundreds of people stopping by to help her raise money for a kids playground and raise autism awareness. This was not about donuts at all.

I didn't post my real address because I don't want rude emails from people I don't know. I get enough of those from people I do know.

I think people who have blogs should realize that not everyone will agree with them, and they should quit being so sensitive. If you dish it out, you have to take it. If they cannot take it, maybe they should see a family therapist.

Thanks from Momoftwoautisickids

Oh, i wasn't going to bother but I am already behind packing anyway:

"mom" -- how do you go from Mom of Autistic Kid
(singular) to Mom of Two Autistic Kids (plural)???

I guess I should say congratulations on giving birth since your first comment!

Blog or board, whatever -- one of the things I have learned over the years is that I question the authenticity of comments and posts by those who post anonymously AND I also doubt the credibilty of those who change facts. Enough said..
