I believe that if people would stop and ask questions instead of making stupid notes, society would gain a lot of good as a whole.

I hate passive aggressive notes. What a bunch of cowards.

I don't care what disability a kid has; if s/he can't behave in public than s/he should be left at home. The kid was imitating a fire alarm - does the Grandma not realize that this would be annoying?

The person who wrote that note would not give a s**t what disability that kid has.

It's a nice theory that you can educate, and people would be accepting. Most likely the note writer would be, "So the kid has Autism, he still needs a muzzle."

I know that particular store. It is usually so Lord of the Flies, I'd be hard pressed figure out how to stand out. It's like People of Walmart crazy.

Meijer stores (it's a little more upscale that Walmart) are my husband's worse sensory overload. Massive and loud.
