[MR] People banned from SCA events

[Stefan li Rous]

JR commented:
<<< 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. >>>

I'm not sure what Asperger syndrome is, but here is a message posted  
on another list, but not yet in the Florilegium disabilities-msg file,  
that seems to support what JR is saying.

<<< As I said before I am a single mom to a very imaginative ADHD five  
year old boy. When I attend events it will be alone with Richard (my  
son) in tow. Any advice?

As far as children and the SCA go let me tell you about my son Liam,  
he has ADHD and Aspbergers. Everyone in our shire knows Liam and his  
issues and so do most folks at the kingdom level. He has been accepted  
with open arms, issues and all. The group I'm with has the philosophy  
of it takes a village and is something we cherish and do everything we  
can, not to abuse.

Yours in Humble Service,
Pomestnik Dmitrii Ivanov
