If I'm reading the above correctly, you (and daughter) were offended by the language used by someone who is autistic?
I would suggest that you learn (and teach) tolerance for those who have mental health issues, rather than wanting them removed.
It could just as easily have been you, having such a troubled child. Think on that.
This is the last one I will bite on. As I stated, I also have a daughter with severe ADHD and fully understand how difficult behavioural issues are as having been through years of very challenging times, times where you question living and take meds to get you through. This doesn't mean you down tools and think sod it, you continue to parent and make them the best person they can be. You can only do so much as a parent but the terms I have referred to would never be heard of or accepted in our household. I'm a massive advocate of mental health too so please take your wild assumptions away with you.

It's pretty simple - you're suggesting that people with mental heath issues (as demonstrated in the OP) should not be inclusive - or have I got that wrong?
If so, I apologise.
If they are shouting out horrible abuse about raping up the arse and racist language they should have been immediately removed from the stand by their parents/ carer.
Sorry it’s not acceptable.

No wild assumptions here, simply responding to what I consider to be an intolerant post, especially given what you have just written above.

I'm sure you've heard equally vile stuff from people with no excuse, other than drink/drugs.
Cut a person with genuine mental health problems some slack. Jeez.

As has been posted, spouting vile racist and sexually aggressive language is not a symptom of a neurological condition.

If the child has developed these verbal tics then a family oriented venue is not the place for him.

I would fully back the club if they made the decision to ban him and his carers.

‘BHA at centre of storm for banning disabled fan and parents’………

Can’t make that kind of call without knowing the full circumstances. I know a couple of Tourettes sufferers who will shout obscenities in otherwise totally inappropriate places/circumstances…..should they be banned from food shopping ?
If they’re fat, yes, but this is a different discussion.

No, we don't all obey the rules either do we? Racism and swearing is learnt behaviour and at the age of 7 he is clearly copying that from somewhere.
Yes, we ALL learnt some horrible stuff at that kind of age, the difference is, we were (mostly) able to understand how wrong it was, whereas this person clearly doesn't.
Seriously, what would you do - have everyone with these issues confined to their house until they 'learn' to not offend you? What if they never did? Keep them away forever?
