[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't have kids with ASD but with other developmental disorders.  It's hard to see such ignorant posts from people who don't have a freakin clue how different it is to parent some of these kids. Given what I've seen on this thread and what I've experienced, I have no doubt the United flight attendants are in dire need of training.  I agree with the PPs who noted that [b]"people believe better parenting can fix autism"[/b]. I hope United gets their ass handed to them.[/quote]

Of course, better parenting cannot fix autism, but better parenting can get better services and help prepare a child for life as an adult.  Better parenting can help meet needs in advanced by anticipating problems and being prepared.  Mom could have brought a thermos, got food and hot water at the airport and had hot food.  Better parenting knows the techniques to calm your child.  Better parenting sets an example which does not include threatening or bullying to get your demands met.  Many of us fly with kids with autism and do not have these issues.  We do sometimes use either the disability or family boarding and that is it.  Other than that I bring everything we could possibly need including extras for delays.  I am very empathic towards others but not if they behave poorly and then use it to set up a lawsuit and make your child a poster child for the news for attention.  [/quote]
