The answer here is simple. Dont paint a target on yourself, don't bring developmentally disabled children to movie theatres if you don't want to be shouted out of it. It's like enabling speaker on your phone and carrying on a conversation with somebody over aforementioned phone, it's rude.

He was being disruptive, they kick out anyone being disruptive, right? Why should he be exempt? They shouldn't take him to things where being quiet is a necessity.

If being quiet is a necessity then the people who were jeering at him kind of broke that rule. Perhaps it'd have been better if the manager would come in, and make everyone leave because the crowd was obviously being disruptive to the maybe 4 people who didn't want to give a fuck and just watch the movie instead of calling a kid "retard".

But maybe they should be exempt because they were enforcing their righteous mob justice, though.

Throw out them too, you know unless they told him to be quiet about 10 times.

But they didn't just tell him to be quiet. They also called him a retard and applauded as they left, which is pretty bloody disruptive.

It claims to have started with an older woman saying “But why should the rest of us have to suffer.”, rather than straight up jeering. But still, jeering is wrong. But I would have asked a couple of time, and if no avail. Then get the manager. You should ask nicely first.

I am well aware of how it works, which is why they shouldn't go into places where silence is a necessity.

The crowd handled the situation badly, but I'm more annoyed with the parent than anyone else. It's so selfish and inconsiderate to bring the kid to this viewing.

Is he autistic or is he retarded? Or is he both?

Autism and retardation has a clear difference. They are different mental conditions, autism has an effect on very specific pars of the brain, I have high functioning autism and I do find myself odd, but still, is he autistic or retarded?

Don't bother. I use the term "Mentally retarded" to refer to people suffering from "Mental retardation" I define it by a person being very behind in mental age E.G a 40 year old who acts and is stuck permanently through no fault of his own acting like a 6 year old.

I don't think that "But why should the rest of us have to suffer." is just asking for a child to be quiet. It sounds more like victimising one's self, and making a scene, which is disruptive.

There's a difference between what he said, mental retardation, and calling someone retarded. One is a medical term while the other is an insult.
