12. You Do realize that people with autism are on the spectrum, don't you?

There are very mild cases and people who may come across as threatening (and may even manifest violent tendencies under certain cirumstances). It sounds like you are not very familiar with people who have disabilities. One thing which makes some people with autism agitated is being in public because of the loud noises and bright lights. Perhaps he was reacting to that.

I find it ironic that you go on about teabaggers and I view everyone in that light: as those who can get agitated and scared when they are confused. That includes you (and the rest of us, if we're not being conscious in the moment).

Rather than making a big production number out of it, your husband could have nudged you or you could have nudged him. No need to broadcast to the mother that her son was disturbing you. I suspect that she felt judged and isolated by it. Given your area, there is probably a lot of ignorance about austism and she gets a lot of crap from people who don't understand the disorder.

You talk as if you are being constantly victimized. Do you really want to view your life in such a way? I could tell you natural ways to lower your blood pressure and get rid of your asthma. Would you be open to it?

What is your sign, if you don't mind? Your vibration strikes me as Piscean.
