I had just read a small article on the internet about a woman and her service dog along with her autistic children going into a McDonald's restaurant. The manager of that food chain walked up to the woman in the parking lot and punched her in the face. This happened in Atlanta.
Apparently the manager became disturbed about the service dog inside the restaurant. She was charged with battery, assault and disorderly conduct. Along side, she lost her job.
As if this woman having a disability and has a service dog to accompany her while raising autistic twins isn't hard enough for her. Did punching her in the face in the parking lot put the icing on the cake? WTF is wrong with people?
With the Americans with Disabilities Act that woman had her right to bring the dog inside the place.
Now, I could understand if the dog made a big dookie on the floor and she had to clean it up. I believe the article said that she was off-duty even. Really? Your not even on the clock and want to express your discontent for a customer by punching her in front of her kids. What is this world coming to?
This is my online diary about my son diagnosed with autism at age 2. His progress and regressions. His behavior and his sensory overloads. Therapy and picture schedules. Drama and humor to figure out how his mind works.
