I don't know that I can fully appreciate the difficulties people like you and my friend face, but I think I appreciate it enough to understand that a reasonable amount of slack should be given. But that slack isn't endless.

Absolutely; that's why (I posted this earlier) I don't take my son to movies although he loves them. He can't stay quiet and I don't want to ruin the movie for everyone else. Some parents do feel that since they've been given this burden, everyone else should accomodate them and that's unfortunate because it really is counter-productive.
