She probably does more harm to the PR for autism than anything else.

One thing that really stuck out is how she said during the 15 minutes that guest relations was explaining the new DAS card, her adult son started pinching her. She responded by telling the CMs that if they didn't give her the front of the line passes that she would have to call 911 to stop his behavior and it would be their fault that she had to call the police. If she had to call the authorities to contain his behavior, ok, but it isn't really Disney's fault is it?
Also in one of her videos she tells him to "shut up" when he is talking over what she is trying to say. Doesn't sound like something you would say to someone that is autistic and easily pushed over the edge while at WDW.
I know there is the don't judge until you walk a mile in someone else's moccasins, and I don't pretend to know what her daily life if like with her child, but at some point you have to take some personal responsibility and not blame other people for everything that doesn't go exactly as you want it to go in your life. Can't enjoy your day because you can't skip every line at WDW? Guess what, no one else skips the lines either unless you are a Make a Wish family or a celebrity. And I bet at the very least, the MAW family would trade places with someone at the end of every queue if it meant their child wouldn't have whatever fatal disease they are facing.

My wife wants to know how this will affect us with our two sons (both would qualify for GAC at this point). She was thinking of calling the concierge at AKL, but there's got to be a better option than that.

This past week, I did see a couple more cards than I had previously but it was also a very busy week so there are more people in the park. But so far, I personally haven't seen too many major complaints that required a Coordinator be called down to be present.

I think they actually charge the celebs (or managers) for that privilege to bypass, if they actually get paid is probably another story. I had a flight up to the Bay Area office once and the plane was branded with make a wish foundation, I was actually surprised the airlines would have such a thing handy.

At work, we call it either "The me syndrome" (If it doesn't benefit me, screw the rest). Or we call it the "Veruka Salt Syndrome". (I want it and I want it now).
