She blackmailed the airline into providing something, but stating her child would get violent.
The Captain is ‘”Master of the aircraft” and has final authority AND responsibility to all passengers on the plane.
Once informed of a threatening violent passenger, he made the call. He has sole authority to do this. The minute mom made a threat of violence, he really had no choice.
Wow...the captain brought a plane down in a emergency landing because a prissy male attendant would not throw a meal into a microwave for a kid with low blood sugar per her moms request. Blackmail??? Because a mom with a disabled child was trying to avoid a problem you are calling her a blackmailer??

Ridiculous. She was simply stating the truth. You OBVIOUSLY have zero experience with autistic kids.
How hard would it have been for the staff to make an accommodation to a situation? Not hard. Simple human decency and kindness would have helped -- that's all.
All those passengers had their lives disrupted because the staff couldn't hit a button on a microwave to help a struggling guest on their plane. Give me a break. She needed something that the airline had every means of providing, but they refused to BELIEVE the mother.
