Living with Autism!

Hello it has been awhile since I wrote and I apologize. We have had quite a bit going on here at the home front. First and most important is our landlords discrimination against us and our child. On August Th 2008 our son had what we would call a little fun with his poop and our maintenance man happened to see it. We had just seen it as well. Our landlord was told and stormed to our apt. not 10 minutes later. We had just cleaned up the loose stuff and secured the children. We then had prepared the cleaning tools for the walls ceiling and carpet. Our landlord came demanding to be let in and see. she did not even go into our living room but merely glanced over he gate and in disgust yelled unacceptable this is unacceptable. You are unacceptable. I was stressed and offended at her lack of professionalism and decided to take it outside. i told her we would go outside cause i did not want my children exposed to her yelling at us. Also I wanted a smoke. i told her we don’t smoke in the house and she snarled and pointed toward the living room and said well why not you might as well. We went outside and she continued to tell us we were unacceptable and that we would have to move out. She then told us we were bad parents and how we have to raise our child. She completely lost her cool and professionalism and I am now in the process of filing a lawsuit against her and the housing authority. The next day the maintenance man returned and checked if we had cleaned the mess which we had and agreed it was fine. End of story right. Wait maybe we would receive a notice of housekeeping violation as the lease stipulates. No nothing good it is over right? The following Tuesday morning we are awakened by a knock at the door and to our surprise it was DCFS demanding to come inside. I kindly asked the lady to have a seat outside and explain to me what she was here for. I asked if she had received a complaint that we had poop on our walls. She said yes and that we were accused of locking our children in the living room , leaving them home alone and living in filth. I explained to her as I explain to everyone who is uninformed about Autism. Our 4 almost 5 year old son is moderate/severely Autistic and has many sensory seeking habits that we have been working with him on since we can remember. one of which is playing with his poop. She then interviewed my wife my son and my daughter. She then walked through our apt. and did not find anything that concerned her. she did not find any problems with our housekeeping. So now our landlord not only discriminated against us,she harassed us with DCFS over a matter she knew was already taken care of. Anyone else out there ever have any discrimination on your disabled child’s behavior.
