I completely accept everything you say Sheriden -- and no one is more qualified than you and your son to make your observations -- respect!

It may well be worth remembering that not all  people are identified as  having aspergers until they are  adults so may not have had the social  training you talk about. Even if they haven't   all you need to do is talk  to them with respect and without being condescending.      I've seen a darn sight more "normal" people either sing or talk aloud in  concerts too. Their companions should also be sensitive to the needs of the  audience and performers.   Cheers     Sheridan      No virus found in this outgoing message.  Checked by AVG Free Edition.
