She blackmailed the airline into providing something, but stating her child would get violent.

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.

I have taken care of my wife's mentally handicapped sister for past 15 years.

My wife and I know her limitations and don't except the world to cater to her every need or want.

Again, you are wrong. They had their life's disrupted because the mother made a threat. You don't do that and get to stay on the plane. Try it yourself and see!
