Rumor has it some families
where getting disability passes saying their child had autism and then SELLING cuts in line to park guests making it possible for anyone with $ to get on the rides fast! What the heck! The consequence, no
more disability passes for guests with autism. Instead we will get a pass to come back to a ride at a
certain time. I don’t know about your kid, but for me taking my son right up to
the desired item, and then taking him away, is going to present a whole new
series of challenges!! Our families have so many challenges and this seemingly
tiny thing in the big picture of life with autism may not seem like much, at least for my family, its a HUGH deal. Why, does it matter. One one had it was the one day I could count on for my typical teen daughter to appreciate her brother, and even think maybe it’s not so bad keeping him around and it was a day I could be sure to keep him calm enough to have a great time without meltdowns, which is the secret sauce to a good family day. The actions of a few bad apples sets in motion decisions that hurt us all. We will ever get, that we’re all connected?
Let's move on to those we are working
to help. Below is a response from Autism Society Los Angeles, complete with
links at the bottom for you to send a message and try to improve the situation. Let’s get this corrected! Respond to the links below...it only takes 2 minutes!!!!!
THIS IN FROM ASLA
Many of
you have heard about the change in the way that Disneyland will handle guests
with disabilities.
At the Autism Society of Los Angeles, we have received emails and
calls from many of you about your concerns about this new policy. Please
know that our organization, which works directly in the community, were not
consulted on these new procedures and we share your
concerns.
ASLA issued the attached press release this week and were
subsequently contacted by Disneyland representatives to hear our
views.
Disney is definitely
going ahead with the change but they are willing to speak with us if the
program does not accommodate some in our community.
Judy Mark our Government
Relations Co Chair has been approached by a news organization to ask us to
monitor the situation for their reporters and to write an Op-Ed on how the new system is working.
So this is where we need
your help...
The change goes into
effect on 10/09/13 and we are hoping that some
of you would be willing to take your child with a disability to Disneyland on that day or the few following days into
the weekend and report to Judy on how your visit went.
We plan to have one or
more people from ASLA go to Disneyland as well, particularly on theSaturday October 12th. Judy or
another ASLA representatives will be at the Guest Relations and the kiosks.
speaking to families about how the new system is affecting their day at the
park.
Please contact Judy Mark
by e mail at judymark@earthlink.net if you are willing
and able to be a participant in this new system.
She will be sure to
connect with you before you arrive and while you are in the park. Please feel
free to pass this email on to other families
who may be interested.
We know that this issue
is not the most important challenge that our community faces and our
organization faces. Honestly, we wish that we could get 30,000 people to
sign a petition fighting the severe budget cuts to our developmental disability
system, but we understand personally how important Disneyland is to many
children and adults with autism and other disabilities. For many of you,
it is the one place that our whole family can truly enjoy together.
ASLA is
committed to representing the families' concerns to Disney so please keep us
posted if you are able to assist. In the meantime,
ASLA
will also be collecting comments, concerns and stories. Please direct
them Caroline Wilson at execdirector@autismla.org
We want
to hear from you and will be taking you comments to Disney.
You can
also sign petitions on:
They are hearing us and we think we have a chance to make
this better.
