[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 469140, member: 1550"] I am NOT defending jerk dad, but we don't know what triggered his hyper-response or his daughter or him. Perhaps she has been sexually assaulted or stalked and both of them are terrified of anything that reminds them of paying too much attention to her. There is usually a story behind an overreaction. A hard lesson for our Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids to learn is that people can act in ways that they don't understand for reasons that we don't know. To turn it into a positive (if you can) maybe it could be a learning experience. I try hard to get Sonic to understand what somebody else may have been thinking because he tends to see everything as black and white. But if this experience had happened to him, he would have been crying...and he is eighteen (sigh). Sometimes I just want to shield him from life...of course, I can't and you can't for your son either. I'd let him go back to the library. Talk to Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) worker about it. As for librarian, she should have been more forceful about making him leave...but I'll bet she was scared of the idiot too. [/QUOTE]
