American Airlines Kicks Autistic toddler off the plane

People JUST dont know what we go through as parents with a child with Autism! Let them walk a mile in our shoes and maybe they will change their tune!

So far, we've flown twice successfully on Southwest airlines with Noah when he was between the ages of 3-4. Even though the airline have been understanding with his meltdowns in the past; we have avoided 2 other past family holiday trips since then because the anxiety that it would be on Noah. Fortunately-- Noahs doctor recommended an extra dose of meds to calm the anxiety for future flights, so we will see.

I'll definately make it a point to avoid American Airlines in the future!


A friend (who also has a child with Autism) just saw this on CNN. com.

A mom and her very young autistic child (he's just a toddler) were kicked off of an American Airlines flight when the child had a meltdown.

Can you say boycott, much???????
