Usually churches are eager to bring more parishioners to their pews. But a church in Minnesota actually has taken out a restraining order to keep one of their members from attending.

The issue, according to a news story, is that the 13-year-old, who has autism, is disruptive. The church is arguing that he even may be dangerous to other parishioners. The mom responds that he is simply misunderstood by people who don't understand his condition.

Such issues are arising more and more as more children are diagnosed with autism, and their families are finding their usual social institutions are not always friendly to including them in activities.
