Because it comes out of someone else’s pocket.

As the Godmother of an Autistic child, I can tell you that no sign will take the place of an adult’s eyes. To ask the community to pay for it, puts the responsibility elsewhere as well. I may be slammed for saying this, but I have seen many a parent of a child with special needs that have a HUGE entitlement attitude. They should always get some special treatment because of that child. Not all, Lord knows but some.

Did the parent pay for the sign?

In a similar vein -- someone please explaint to me why a child with diabetes rates preferential line treatment at disney World? Sis-in-law told us that she was traveling with other relatives, one of whom was a diabetic child, and that the entire party got to use "special needs" entrance lanes for rides. Now, I know there are timing of meals issues and the like, but can't parents bring appropriate snacks for long waits? Water? medication?
