Everyone has the right to go see a movie.. See, I just can't agree with this. Seeing a movie isn't a right, it's a privilege. And like all privileges, it can be revoked if not used appropriately. I'm broke. I can't afford to go to the movies. Should I be allowed to go anyway? No, because it doesn't work that way. If I want to see a movie, I rent it. And if I couldn't afford to rent it, I'd wait until it came on tv. That's just how it works. Food, clothing, shelter, freedom from abuse? Those are rights. Seeing a movie is not.

how else do you socilize someone if you dont take them out in public.. I agree with this, but I'm not sure the movie theatre is an appropriate place for teaching socialization. There's not much interaction with other people. Like I said, I don't think the disabled should be housebound. But I also don't think they should be allowed to disrupt an entire theatre either. If you really want to see the movie, rent it. crysandjim (7/2/2008)
no one has said that they shouldn't be allowed in public, or even hinted at itDitto to both.

That`s a very good point, I didn`t even think about it like that.

If you really want to see the movie, rent it. I totally agree. The father *should* know his son's limitations, and be guided by them. IF he knows his son is loud, he should not be taking him to a theatre to watch a movie. He will enjoy it just as much on DVD in a few months... Now...if he were in a movie theatre, I would be angry too....however, if he were in a restaurant...not so much. I really wouldn't care at all. But I think of the theatre as somewhere you go and need to be quiet...in a restaurant, the atmosphere is a bit different. It invites conversation and laughing...it is definitely NOT a 'quiet' place by any means!

how else do you socilize someone if you dont take them out in public.. yes i understand he was being disruptive. he was likely excited about the movie.. Everyone has the right to go see a movie.. People need to be more tolerent. you cant keep someone housebound because they are to much work or makes noise when you dont want them to.. what kind of life is that. Do i think the father should have been asked to leave.. I know if it was me in the theater and in the same situation.. I would not want the father and his son to leave.. the son is enjoying the movie. the only way he knows how.. but thats just me. My husband doesnt feel the same way. he would want them to leave.. there was/is a customer that comes into a resturant that has a mental disability.. there are a few actually. this little girls name is Abigale. she has downs.. and highly impatient.. i was on my break. and just sitting in the resturant. her mom. was visiting with a friend. abby was bored.. and making it known she was bored.. did i ask her to leave.. no.. i went over and played a game with her.. we sat there my entire break.. and she has the best time. I didnt know this person from a hole in the wall. Why did i go play a game with Abby.. Because she was bored. and frankly so was i.. that was 5 years ago. Abby and I are still great friends..... and her mom is awesome. it brought tears to her eyes that someone would take the time to get to know her daughter without judgement... Noone is saying that he shouldn't be out in public, just that he should not be somewhere where you need to be quiet. I do this as my career and have been helping people who have come out of institutions become part of society. Going to a movie when someone is not able to be quiet does not help them socialize, taking him to a concert/ karoake/loud restaurant is more appropriate if he is a loud person. You cannot assume that he is being loud because he is enjoying it, usually with the people I support it means that they can't handle the stimulation. People with disabilities should not be treated differently then others, nor should they be put into situations that will show them in a bad light. It does not help to give people special treatment just because they have a disability, alot of the kids and adults I work with have had special rules for them and get away with murder because people feel sorry for them. At my work we call it the SBS=Spoiled Brat Syndrome.

At my work we call it the SBS=Spoiled Brat Syndrome.Totally agree with this. Just because someone has a disability, does not mean they should be treated differently. Based on comments in this thread, the consensus seems to be 'let them experience everything "normal" people experience'. If that's the case, they should be held to the same standards as the rest of us. Do we allow people with disabilities to hit other people? We shouldn't, because then they will think that it's OK to hit someone. While the boy would benefit from social interaction, a loud movie theatre, where he's disrupting the entire theatre, is not an appropriate place to do it.
