[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And everyone on the flight survived! What a time to be alive!

Be thankful you don’t have a child like that. Have compassion for the parents, who have as much right as you do to be there. Put your headphones on and take a nap. You probably annoyed the hell out of someone at one point as a child. [/quote]

I think you're missing the point.  Had everyone been told there was a child with SN on the flight, and that it might be disruptive, and that they greatly appreciated everyone's patience, I imagine the reactions would have been totally different.  People can be amazingly compassionate when faced with a situation like a SN child.  I bet many of the passengers would have tried engaging the boy and seeing him in a completely different light if they had known he was SN (if, indeed, he was).  But most likely, they thought he was just a spoiled kid whose parents weren't making any effort to rein him in.  That's enough to make anyone mad.

The parents should have asked the flight crew to announce the situation and I bet the other passengers, while weary and tired, would have tried to make the best of it.[/quote]
