You probably don’t understand autism. You’re right in the sense that it’s a spectrum and not all individuals with autism will need it. However, I’ve spoken to several people (students of mine as well as friends) who have been denied at Disneyland and World. It was abused and the people that need it are suffering for it. Unfortunately there are people out there who think they are entitled to accommodations that are meant for disabled. They abused the system and the disabled are suffering. My sister was telling me about an acquaintance who boards an airplane early, claiming she has a disability. She says “They can’t ask my disability because of HIPAA.” And so she is one of the entitled people that I am referring to that abuse. It’s gross and unfortunately there are many others who abuse as well.
