I don't know why Facebook says things are against their standards of community. Facebook has no standards.

[@SwimminWitDaFishies]

As a parent of a child with sensory issues, I never thought the world should adapt to my son but thought it was my responsibility as a parent to help my child adapt to the world.

[@christinekwaschyn5628]

The parent should bring paper towels for use in the bathroom. If you know that’s an issue for your child just bring paper towels but don’t impose your restrictions on the entire ship. Just another example of entitlement. And Joh Heald did nothing wrong. It’s ridiculous to call this gentleman names for reporting something that is clearly forbidden. People’s need to grow up!

[@robertgraham4934]

Paper towels, will be used then flush down the vacuum toilets. Then causing the cruise ship stink issue.

[@user-pp2bg1eb9f]

Paper towels are not the issue, the hand dryers in the public restrooms are and for this kid with Autism it is traumatic. Now the parents should not ask or expect Carnival to remove the hand dryers. The parents have a few options. They can choose to not take their child on a cruise, they can make the child only use the bathroom in their cabin, the parent that is the same sex as the child can go with their child to the bathroom and help them manage the child’s reaction or simply put they can postpone e this tried until they can teach their child how to cope with this issue.

[@bubbateeth2460]

Exactly! Good lord..entitled much??? This is exactly what is wrong with society today.

John Heald was doing his job. It's not allowed to gamble like that because it's illegal. Carnival has sensory kits available for people on the spectrum. Go to guest services and request one. It includes noise canceling headphones. I'm sorry that this person feels so entitled that they felt it was a reasonable request to remove hand dryers throughout the ship.

[@rhondabajan7809]

Wow! People are so entitled. My grandson, who is on the autism spectrum, had the same problem with the noise from the hand dryers. But rather than being superficial and thinking if he can’t tolerate the noise then no one should have access to them, we taught him to be more tolerant. Now, at 6, he calls them the noisemakers and even uses them on occasion.

[@dellamccullough1237]

My grandson who is 6 has autism as well and has also learned tolerate the noise from hand dryers.although he uses noise cancelling headphones, he can tolerate noise without them

[@markm3901]

For the child with noise sensitivity, just have him wear earplugs or noise canceling headphones. Problem solved! Could even have an adult go into the washroom and politely ask other patrons to just paper towels while the child is using the washroom. Take some personal responsibility instead of expecting everyone else to cater to you!

[@thomassamson1432]

no not problem solved because its a spectrum which means people are all different so some can't and won't wear earplugs or headphones because they do not like the sensation or it is outside of their routine.

[@tommyeaton1904]

John Heald was doing his job. Stateroom is the place to gamble if you don't want to gamble in the casino.

[@paulready8897]

That was my first thought, just gamble in your stateroom if you don’t want to play in the casino.

[@dollyc4314]

⚠The hair dryer incident...I understand the sensory issue, have a grandson on the high end of the spectrum. Possible answer, besides your cabin bathroom. Go online and look up and locate all of the family/handicapped rest rooms on the ship. Your child could use those rest rooms. That way there won't be a problem with the offending hair dryer noise.

[@terrynelson1587]

people are going to far. Next they will say the color of the inside of the ship upsets my autistic child, will you repaint the ship. Maybe it is time they stayed home, why should 5000 people be ignored for these 2?

Try making that request when taking your kid into Disney World and see what THEIR response is! NO, either just don't use the public restrooms or bring a towel with you to dry the boys hands! And here I had thought the entitlementism had reached its peak, but I guess this takes it to an even higher level!

[@jenbrooks5872]

That woman asking all the hand dryers to be disabled is insanity. If it's that bad, maybe a cruise isn't a good idea? They are 1 family, so the other 4K people or more aboard should not be able to dry their hands? This is just unbelievable. Then the gambling thing. You dont gamble at a restaurant or pool at a hotel. Why should it be okay on a cruise on the lido deck? So if they allow illegal gaming, shouldn't they allow illegal substances, too? How about firearms? SMH. I just dont understand people nowadays. The world has gone mad, lol. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

[@thomassamson1432]

or maybe they could use hand towels such as other cruise lines like Celebrity, perhaps while designing ships they could have thought about all customers including those with disabilities. The number of people on the spectrum is growing already being about 1-63 depending on where you live and availability for diagnosis so it is not just one family it impacts many but there are a lot of people that do not travel or go out that would like to but cannot because simple solutions are not thought out before hand making it harder for accommodations later to be done. Ramps and accessible rooms are now common to assist with people with disabilities in a wheelchair so the same thought and care will need to come in the future as that 1.5% with ASD increases. with ASD have a disability like someone w

[@jenbrooks5872]

@thomassamson1432 I have twin nieces who are autistic. One semi verbal the other non-verbal. My sister knows what is appropriate for them and what is not. She would not expect others to make accommodations for every little thing. You say use paper towels? So, genius, where should they be disposed of? Into the ocean? The dryers save money and the environment. And I call BS that Celebrity uses them in public restrooms!

[@thomassamson1432]

@jenbrooks5872 well having nieces is definitely not the same as having kids with ASD when you live it 24/7. I didn't say use paper towels I stated they use hand towels. Clearly you've never been on celebrity because they definitely do and then launder them. Nice name calling the mark of someone who can't speak civil or have has anything to contribute.

It would be easier for the family to just have noise cancelling headphones for those instances. What do these people do when they are out in public? There is a group called Autism at Sea and they bring groups on. Never heard that complaint before.
