Well, here's a story that started off all too familiar, but ended well.

A family with a young autistic daughter was asked to leave the restaurant when she started asking up.  However, once the family went to the media, the restaurant went into PR mode and quickly apologized.  According to the mom's latest posting on Facebook, there will be some "sensitivity training" for staff, and there may even be a partnership between the restaurant chain and Autism Speaks.  

Here's the story:

Here's the Facebook group.

Hmm.  Nice to see things go well for a change.
