    Wattdallas - I am not sure if it is intended but I feel ever so slightly uncomfortable reading your post.
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    Hmm ... maybe it was the overuse of jumpy yellow thinggies.

    Your wrong, people with a vested right cant include and exclude other disabilities as and when they feel like it and niether can you as a support of one such candidate, you dont have a single clue about other disabilities just like you hero.

    Either you have a disability which makes you irrational, or alternatively you are just a nasty piece of work. Not sure which it is, but don't bother enlightening me.

    A disabled child doesn't "need" anything more than anyone else.

    You get to enter the park, go on the top rides and go on the other rides.

    The "one ride per hour" limit on the top rides more than makes up for the fact that normally you'd be queuing for roughly an hour.

    While others are sat in queues, you can go on some of the less popular rides.

    What is hard to understand?

    I fully understand that your child requires special treatment due to disability. You seem to be suggesting you should be able to go in and essentially "occupy" the top rides. The park are being reasonable in their compromise.

    And really, the sheet is a non-issue, for the reasons I've stated here. You have no argument besides "ugh, you don't understand, ugh, silly bigoted people".

    A good, well thought out post. Be careful there are some on here who will start calling you pregnant goldfish for having an opposite view to them.
