If I'm going to be the mother of that kid maybe instead of letting this to go to the court I would have accepted the offer of having a designated seat. That's something might be embarrassing on their side at first but you see if the whole church understands that then they shouldn't be ashamed of having a designated seat at all. In the first place, it's much shameful on the parents' part if they see their son going wild in the middle of the congregation and doing nothing.

i think that the church is the last place to take out a restraining order against someone. the thing is the church above all else should be a place of refuge. one of the main things a person like Adam needs is lot of love an support and the church should be the place to give him that. no matter what love conquers all...and an autistic person needs lots of love...thats my thought on the matter, i totally disagree with that move by the church.

Wow, I don't know what to say. I know all are Welcome to church and that should be the way. To solve this problem, maybe one should stay home and watch him while the other attend church. They could switch the next church day back and forth so they will still be attending church. You kind of got to respect autism and know how they are. You can't control them.

This is a very sad situation, aultism disorders can be difficult, and the church members are probably really concerned that he will hurt someone especially if he has been really disruptive at church,

It can be scary when someone is very disruptive and uncontrollable anywhere, it is a sad situation.

I hope they can find a working solution to this problem

What was that that Jesus said "What you do onto the least of these, you do unto me?" Perhaps these church officials ought to reread their Bible.
