Well, as the father of a kid who has ADHD and is being tested in a month or so for Aspergers, I can see your point -- No one knows what is really going on except for the parents (I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and hope they know what is going on.
), and we're getting into dangerous territory by second guessing them. Given my situation described above, I know all too well about judgments from other adults who don't know the whole story.
That said, if it were my kid, he wouldn't be coming to the nice restaurant until he was ready to behave in the manner expected in that restaurant, which presumably would not include watching a movie. (Which may be why my son hasn't been to a really nice restaurant yet.)
