As a footnote, I can't help wondering how the members would have responded if the thread had been created by a devout Hindu mother complaining about her autistic daughter resisting accepting the Bhagavad Gita as being the word of God and not wanting to go to the temple to pray to Krishna; or a devout Muslim mother asking for help because her Aspie adolescent daughter was resisting wearing a full burka in public. Different culture same issues.
