This thread has now come full circle. It started with people discussing their fears that their legitimate physical disability would no longer be accommodated in a manner that would allow them to enjoy the parks, who were then asked why by several posters who subsequently told them rider switch would work for them but not for their ASD children because of reasons they couldn’t say because it would either be writing a script for fakers or we just wouldn’t understand, to mods saying not to create a disability hierarchy, to a disability hierarchy being created, to saying that those with physical disabilities are overusing DAS if not abusing it, to arguing that DAS was only ever meant for ASD, to people arguing that DAS was likely changed because of all the physical IBS fakers that abused the system. I could sum this whole thread up with “but you don’t understand, my kids needs are greater than yours and that’s who it’s intended for, try rider switch”. I think you effectively chased out all the original posters by making them feel like worthless people hogging up space in the parks. I’m sorry, some old lady who has been going to the parks for 40 years and is struggling to get a last few visits in is just as important as a kid with ASD trying to enjoy the parks, it made me genuinely sad to hear the fear these people had with the changes and they were met with zero compassion. They should both get DAS for all I care. The real enemy is the fakers, which again, will prosper.
