Mum calls for better autism awareness after Stirling film trip with son

The mum of an eight-year-old boy with autism has blasted her treatment at a Stirling cinema amid calls for greater understanding of the condition.

Pam McLennan attended the Vue Stirling cinema with son David on January 30 this year after he had spoken of his hopes to see the movie ‘Sing 2’ due to learning some of the songs from the movie at a stage school he attends.
