Applebee's in Cedar Rapids

“My daughter and I got invited out to dinner with my parents, niece, and nephew. While out for dinner, my daughter who is 5 and Autistic started displaying that she was overstimulated and was screaming and as most would call "throwing a tantrum". Several had looked and I told my nephew that just because my kid has Autism doesn't mean that she should have to be excluded from going out because of her disability. When I felt like I was becoming overwhelmed, a young man who was either a server or bused tables stopped by my table and told me completely understood how I felt because he too had a 5 year old Autistic son and discussed the whole difficulty having to wait to have his son diagnosed. To hear him discuss this with me and make me feel a lot calmer and as if I wasn't doing anything wrong and shouldn't be ashamed of taking my child out was really amazing. Our server was also very polite about the situation. I know several would have told me that I had to calm my child or leave, but this young lady stayed calm and kept her cool. I wish I had got both their names, but they definitely showed me how kind humanity really is. Both really deserve a raise and the server definitely deserved the $10 tip we left her.“
