Should parents with ASD children have a separate/shorter supermarket queue?

Should amputees have shorter queues, should irate 50 somethings have shorter queues etc.
I have 3 children with high functioning Autism, you pick your battles and likewise when out shopping take something that keeps them composed as much as possible. I wouldnt expect shops to keep one lane only for a specific condition. 10 items or less, self service and quieter lanes are fine for us.
 
Strange first post.

I'm going with "no".

EDIT: I'll qualify my post a little because I probably came across a little harshly the first time. There can obviously be a wide range in severity. In severe cases I would not be against it but I don't see how we would decide who does or doesn't get priority.

My Daughter with ASD had a meltdown in Tesco today and people were just crowding round watching, it got to the point where I had to shout "shes autistic, not a ******* show", only for one man to shout back "in my day she would have got a good whacking". Some people just don't understand!!!!
 
No

Simply put - If you have a separate queue for ASD children, then where does it end.

Shorter queue for 80+ years old, PTSD suffers, MS suffers, People having cancer treatment etc etc - the list goes on.
