There is a "hidden curriculum" when it comes to public restrooms. We usually learn it at a young age just by viewing what others do, such as our parents or adults in general. They are lessons we learn from observing instead of being taught in a classroom or at the dinner table.

What if you didn't have an older male or female role to ever observe and learn these hidden rules? What if on top of this challenge you were autistic? It would mean you would just end up doing whatever you felt like doing in the restroom, like staring at another guy's member. You don't have any standards or lessons to go by, so whatever goes.

Luckily there is a gentlemen by the name of Kenneth Dixon who helps with this challenge. He works at Beacon Day School for autistic children. Kenneth is the only male teacher at the school and helps to teach the children certain life lessons, such as tying your shoes and using a public restroom. He explains how he once walked into the restroom to see two boys standing at the urinals just staring at each other, instead of the known rule of staring at the wall (hilarious, but a definite NO,NO).

Dixon is not sure what the two boys were thinking, but he is devoted to preventing it from continuing to happen.

One mother says, "Definitely on the autism spectrum, particularly in the ways of men, it would be invaluable to have male input."

I for one completely agree and commend Mr. Dixon on his work with helping these children. Most men don't have the patience to deal with children, let alone ones with a disability such as autism. It is an important job Dixon is performing, because we wouldn't want one of these children being punched by an old New Zealand man for not understanding the "hidden curriculum".

Guys-- Next time you see some other guy looking over, it maybe just cause he is autistic.
