[MR] People banned from SCA events

[JR]

I have seen what Dughall-Eoghann is talking about. There is a guy in my 
canton that we were worrying about for the same reasons, but we did as 
Dughall-Eoghann is now suggesting and it worked for us in that 
situation. After a few months of doing that, the guy in my canton 
returned to his doctor and with the help we had given him he had grown 
socially. His doctor then realized that things he thought were symptoms 
of a mental problem were only social issues this guy had never been 
taught. So this canton member I was referring to was rediagnosed as not 
having the 3 problems he was receiving medicine for. It turns out he has 
Asperger syndrome instead, and the other medicines he was receiving were 
only making things worst. Now that he is no longer over medicated, and 
we know what he is dealing with, this canton member is on his way to 
becoming an archer. In other words to make a long story short; I think 
Dughall-Eoghann is right and that as long as we know what this guys 
problems are, we can work around them.

And I found that he was willing to help, if given simple and concise directions, and more than anything was seeking acceptance into a culture where he felt needed.
