点评:Our autistic young adult, who is 26 years old but has the cognitive abilities of a 5-year-old, was unfairly criticised and was told he could not sing along during the pantomime. The staff member remarked that his participation would "ruin it for everyone else," which was both discriminatory and deeply upsetting.
You can imagine how distressing it is to explain to someone with such a unique perspective on the world that they are being excluded from a joyful event. It not only spoiled the evening for us but also demonstrated a lack of understanding and sensitivity towards individuals with autism and learning disabilities.
We strongly urge you to ensure that all your staff members undergo comprehensive training on autism and learning disabilities to foster inclusion and respect for all patrons. This kind of behaviour is unacceptable and does not reflect well on your establishment.
We hope you take this matter seriously and address it promptly.
翻译:我们那位患有自闭症的年轻人今年 26 岁,但认知能力只有 5 岁,他受到了不公平的批评,并被告知在哑剧表演期间不能跟着唱。工作人员表示,他的参与会“毁了其他人的兴致”,这既具有歧视性,也令人深感不安。
您可以想象,向一个对世界有如此独特看法的人解释他们被排除在一场欢乐活动之外是多么令人痛苦。这不仅毁了我们的夜晚,也表明了对患有自闭症和学习障碍的人缺乏理解和体贴。
我们强烈敦促您确保所有工作人员都接受有关自闭症和学习障碍的全面培训,以促进包容和尊重所有顾客。这种行为是不可接受的,对您的机构没有好处。
我们希望您认真对待此事并及时解决。
