A Sign Whose Presence Ticked Me Off


So, as I was traveling across the Florida Panhandle with my husband and Luke when I came across this sign. It really rubbed me the wrong way. Two questions; 1. Why in the heck are they announcing this to the world?, 2. Do the parents of this child think that it is MY responsibility to watch out for THEIR child? I have children and it is MY responsibility to ensure their safety. I do not try to make other people responsible for MY responsibilities.


Another thing... the sign should read "Caution Child With Autism", not "Caution Autistic Child". The child is a person first. The disability comes second. Not autistic child, but child with autism. Ugh!
