Girl with Autism get's kicked out of Resturant

Most people living with Autism do not know how to cope or rationalize in the way that is considered common. So being told something like there is no pizza is a very hard thing for a person with Autism to hear and deal with. It is very common, that this can result in the person screaming, and attacking themselves and others as a result. This in no way is a temper tantrum. This is part of the frustrating disorder of Autism and the families living with this experience this everyday
