“Trendy autistic kids”???? Do you really think parents are thrilled that their child is autistic? My kids are not autistic but I have friends with autistic children and it is exhausting to even think about what they have to go through each day. This mom WAS trying to avoid a problem that she saw coming and gave the airline a request for a simple accommodation. Apparently some Freepers think the kid should either be drugged,institutionalized or spanked.
Next time you can just buy the brat a 1st class ticket, hot food seating.
