One: When applying for a passport (U.S.), get TSA “Pre,” “Clear,” and “Global Entry.” These make going through security faster and easier- shorter lines, fewer crowds, you don’t have to take off your shoes. Two: When making reservations, request seating in the bulkhead section. This is usually located directly behind first class and is usually at the front of business and economy sections. It has more legroom and is usually the quietest place on the plane. Three: ask to be first when boarding the plane. It will give more room, more quiet and more time for you to get settled in on the flight. I am an Inward (Autistic)- officially diagnosed as a kid but was not told about it. I only learned about this 6 years ago (I’m now 61)! The tips mentioned above have really helped me!
Thank you so much for doing this. I just found out my 18mo son has developmental disabilities at least trying to go through the process for getting a diagnosis for autism. I'm so happy when I find things like this so I can understand and make him as comfortable as possible. 🥰😁
Thank you my son is 8 and low functioning autistic. He has lots of sensory issues and we r going to disney in Fla from NY. Its a short flight but its gonna be tough. Thank you for your tips.
My daughter is 8 yrs old and is autistic I am taking her on her first plane ride to Philippines, oh boy I’m a little nervous but I am staying prepared and positive :)
Hi Cindy I’m planning to bring my ASD child 16 yrs. old and it’s a 20+ hour flight, any particular airline or layover/airport that is autism friendly that u can share? Thank U
@ hi there sorry for the late reply, we flew EVA Air and had a stop over in Taipei, I love that airline they were really nice to Rosy, and also they help with the boarding and all.. I would say over all our trip to Manila was excellent , they are very understanding even the resort we stayed at, she had fun she was afraid of the beach at first but when she saw her cuzzins having fun she was ok 😊, but when you go on your trip let the airport or tsa staff know and they will make it easy w the whole screening .. where you flying to?
I just learned this from another video. You can go online and fill out a form. It called TSA cares. It asks for your flight information and you can put what conditions or disabilities you or your child has. I just got a call back confirming all of my information. When we get to the airport we have to the screening area and tell the tsa agent that I requested assistance for my Son . I just filled it out because we are flying next month, and it's my sons first time flying. It's only an hour and a half flight so I'm expecting the worse hoping for the best!! If we prepared our kids ahead of time we can have a better experience.
My 12 year old child did not take international aeroplane @ the age of 7. Shortly after that incident, we did go for a 1 hour trip same year 2018 - now we want to take him to Singapore from Australia and I am stressing about the unknown
Thanks for these tips I am a 20 year old female with autism specifically Aspergers and I am very nervous about flying not because I am afraid of flying because I am not it’s the fact that flying is very unpredictable
How do you expect children with disabilities to learn anything new if you don't try new things!!! That's why there are videos like these to help us parents!!! It's important to show them videos and prepare them so the experience is less stressful!!!

Here’s a tip. Don’t bring them on the flight. Sensory issues and changes in routine is asking for trouble when you have children on the spectrum.
… that “spectrum” is a scale, not a literal disability. This made no sense.
@@Bodhioflight444 Love this! 👏🏼
we autistics can be in everywhere
So how you suggest Autistic people should travel when they need to? By swimming through oceans maybe ?!!!
