You have no idea what this kid can process. Telling him off would have only heightened his anxiety. His mother trying to correct him was setting him off. Please don't do this IRL. You'll make a hard situation worse.
Then they need to understand that their family cannot take an 8 hour plane trip. They aren't the only family to have to come to that realization. Age, illness, finances---all sorts of reasons that people can't fly for that length of time.

He wasn't just screaming, but running around the aisle and climbing on seats and playing with the overhead
Was he screaming while climbing?
No he was quiet. His screams got worse because the mother tried to change behavior. This kid obviously has serious delays. And people are being very cruel to him and his parents. Flying obviously stressed the heck out of him.
I'm sure he was annoying to listen to, but I feel worse for the parents than the other passengers.
No one was being cruel. He was allowed to scream, climb, and run for the entire 8 hours.
Read the online comments about him--"demonic" and "rampage." Same words to describe mass murderers.
I cannot believe you are excusing this nonsense.
Not excusing anything. Fox "news," New Zealand and British media outlets use the word demonic. This kid is non verbal; it's obvious. Screaming is his way of communicating.
So? His parents put him in this situation. It isn't the kid's fault. It is his parents. People called him demonic because that is how he was acting and his mother was subjecting everyone to that for 8 hours.

This. I posted earlier but didn't mention that I'm also a SN parent! We have a lot more work to do than other parents, and that sucks. But you can't just not do it and to hell with the consequences. So incredibly entitled.

Watch the video. What else would you call that except a rampage? It was certainly beyond a tantrum and it lasted 8 bloody hours not 8 minutes.

Unless this was a trip for some life saving operation for the child, he should have been kicked off the plane.

We can all cry "oh he may have special needs or blah blah blah". Great. If that's the case, don't take him on a 8 hour plane? Stupidity on the moms part.
Agree. He obviously was not ready for this situation and shame on the mother for selfishly subjecting everyone around them to this insanity. And no, I don’t care if Aunt Edna was on her deathbed or whatever. This should not happen.
