- A Cypress mother and her son who has autism was showered with kindness on their flight home after the 4-year-old had a meltdown on the plane.
My son has autism and his first flight was the beginning of this year and I was so scared because when we first got on the plain he was excited but then he started to have tantrum and banging his head once the plain started going up. One of the flight attendant she bought my son coloring books and cakes and pieces of chocolate, juices. She was a blessing
Love it
Aww this is so wholesome 🥺
Awww
Little belt whipping never hurts
@@2good4soccer your disgusting.
As a parent of a severely autistic child this touched my heart some much I was in tears
I have high functioning autism
I’m on the spectrum myself.
I have a question for you guys : how can we make someone with autism ( doesn’t matter the severity) to feel comfortable with us??
@@TheFishyJoker Help to make them feel safe. It may not be easy because it may not make sense but their fear is real, getting them to understand, maybe tiring, repetitive, constructive is a must. Allow their input, responsibility, creativity, explain it at their level. My grandson is 30 yrs. old, thank God I raised him because even though he was in special Ed, he was not diagnosed until he was 18 yrs old. Spectrum of autism aspergers.
Yes definitely agree this touched my heart deep. I have a 3 year old with autism also. This video made me smile and tear up being not many people are understanding to our situation and quick to judge. God bless them.
There are still good people out there!
Big fan man!!!
Yooo
👍
AMEN!!!!
There will never be a wild there isn't good people In it. The news just negativity.
As a mom of 3 on the spectrum, those folks that helped instead of scorned, will NEVER know what that meant to that family.
I was pondering how incredibly positively the group seemed to have responded. I wish everyone was that kind everywhere. I guess everyone can't be a light worker.
@minebossplays usually when someones is not trying to be rude they will consider the wording of their sentence or statement as to avoid actually saying something rude. When people say "Not to be rude" or "I'm not trying to be rude" it doesn't mean it's okay to then be rude.
Kids are so damn confused
@minebossplays 🤦🏽♂️
@minebossplays I think the rude wording comes into play when you asked "is there just something wrong with you"
It was a plane ride not a funking burden or task maybe don't fly on vacation her life is not hard just complaining for symp5
I talked to a kid who was autistic on a plane ride that lasted 2 hours and I learned so much. A beautiful child and this old combat veteran will never forget. We are blessed to meet kids like him. Beautiful souls
That’s very sweet! As an autistic person myself, it helps when people actually understand rather than judging us
My son best friend is like him before I didn’t understand it but now I treat him with kind. People judge us when I babysit them both. They assume he is my son and that I need to chain him up.
Yes
I like how the reporter is chilling on the floor when there's a chair beside him 😂
Edit: thank you for the like ❤ I've never got so many ❤😄
I was wondering if someone was gonna mention that😂😂
He didn’t even look comfortable 😂😭😭😭
They had to of been hanging out with the kid🤣
That's cause the lady was also sitting on the floor
What’s so funny the kid has Austim
I am 23 years old, and I have autism.
I wish people have shown me kindness when I was his age.
Little dude is lucky to have loving parent and a strong support system.
Good on the passengers and flight attendants, and awesome kid.
Thanks to people like you and your parents, you have helped educate the world as you grew and matured, and have made a safer environment for the next generation. I'm sorry you did not get to experience growing up the atmosphere your experience is creating today, but I hope you take pride that you live each day and choose to wish well on others around you.
God bless you
Hope you’re doing well!
God bless you. Wishing you the best❤
I have autism myslef3and i absolutely HATE it
I wish i never had it
I sat on the floor with someone’s upset child (not autistic, but rather naughty) as my iPad had the best game......3 hours this little lad played again and again.......but it turned out, the child had a severe ear infection and he couldn’t explain what was the matter........the parents had two other little kids (3 under 5 yrs old)
aw, that’s so nice of you! God bless you.
💗💗
Thank you Jan for being part of the solution and not the problem. Im not really a people person but I LOVE PEOPLE LIKE YOU! BLESSINGS
That was a very nice thing to do.God bless you 👍
I feel bad sometimes when really little kids throw tantrums and the parents get mad, I get why they are mad but kids are still learning new emotions and feelings that they don’t know how to explain and they just get frustrated
I feel like most people are sympathetic if they see that the parents are doing everything they possibly can. Now if the parents are just ignoring the kid and letting them scream their heads off I think that’s when people get annoyed.
lots of people dont understand autism until they know someone who has one and knows the struggle. more and more people are educating themselves. and as there is more awareness the more of the stigma goes away and people finally get what its like to keep a child calm during stressful times. or in public. and to not have judgement or nasty comments or looks. to be understood and empathized with is very powerful.
Added to that I wish people would understand what it's like to _be_ that child who is experiencing too much all at once.
Someone who has one? Maybe someone who is
I’m autistic and I’m glad more people are becoming knowledgeable about it and accepting of it, it doesn’t always have to be a painful struggle. Sometimes our meltdowns and getting triggered or overwhelmed can’t be helped, but it can be prevented a lot of the time or it can easily be alleviated when it happens if you know what to do for that individual.
I have an adult daughter with autism and sometimes she still has a meltdown, although she's learned how to deal with them better and uses a weighted blanket when at home. She has amazing gifts that flabbergast most people who experience them. I call her my rose because each day I'm never sure what new petal will present itself. She is a gift to me.
Aww I love this May God continue to bless her, you & your family, the rose part is just so precious
So cute ❤️ bless your daughter, your family and you 🥰🥰:)
You are a phenomenal, strong mother. They way you speak of daughter describing her as a rose and a new petal every day.... beautiful. Blessing and happiness 💕✨😁🙏 to you and family.
Edit : Must add that each petal is a new chapter and each child sheds the old ones for new beautiful smelling changes.....THUS MOTHER DESCRIBED IT SO LOVING, EXPLAINING THE GRASP OF LOVE 💕💕
BK that’s so beautiful awwwwwww I wish you and yours the very best you lovely person ❤️💕💗
God bless u and u child
The sad thing is - this should be the norm, instead of a feel good story.
Yes.❤️
@Sharky because people doing this out of kindness. They telling it as a story likes it’s one of a kind or a surprise. Because normally people wouldn’t understand and probably kick them off the plane. It should be normalized instead of praised.
they were lucky they didn't met a KAREN on that flight
@Sharky I don't think that they meant that it isn't a happy story. I think they meant that there are small amounts of stories like these and they are amazing. But there should be so many more, the rarity of these stories is why they are so emotional.
I agree , people being kind and understanding should be normal..
What a great letter and people.
Yep
As someone who absolutely despises screaming children on airplanes, this is a heartwarming story.
There's a *huge* difference between a kid with special needs and failing to control your child.
I think it’s worth noting that children can’t always be “controlled” nor should they be. We can give them all the skills possible and prepare them for the plane, but ultimately it’s up to them how they behave. Consequences and appropriate discipline don’t always “work”, especially for toddlers.
You must not have any children. Maybe you think we enjoy the screams and tantrums of our own children? Or maybe you do have children and was a miracle mother who raised perfect little Angels who never did what you did want them to do from newborn to adulthood. If not, ima say what I love to say about people especially women with no children, it’s always the ones with no kids who think they can tell you how to handle or raise your kids. God bless you. I hope whose ever nerves you agitate or whoever path you run across and they just don’t like you for their lack of understanding you that they have more mercy and tolerance for you than you have for children.
*didnt
@@Jesus_and_Dreams I have a child and no, I don't like the screams and scenes that some children do. Do you like such scenes? No, mine has never done such scenes. He tried at the age of two, at home, I managed the situation and it never happened again. I laughed with my husband and went to another room, leaving him alone. After he calmed down, I explained that he was wrong.
@@Jesus_and_Dreams some people just don't have a good understanding of all people who have autism and other severe disabilities and how to control and handle the person with the disability that the person has. Some people are just plain ruthless and heartless and don't care to understand the perspective point of view of a child or whoever with a autistic disability for any disability of any kind. If you can't handle a kid who has a disability no person should have the right to say something negative about it if they're not in that position. Because that just clearly shows what type of person they are. Because as a person myself that has ADHD and cognitive disorder I understand how autism and all the disabilities work and how they can easily be overlooked and mocked.
That UA employee that gave them that note, despite being kicked by this child, is an amazing person!
I’m autistic, but I can’t imagine it being this bad.. I wish him the best. 💕
So am I, but I used to be like that when I was younger. I’m 18 and a lot better now:)
@@specsbaby1836 autism isn’t an illness you recover from no matter what a neurotypical led society leads us to believe. please, don’t suppress your natural behaviours. it isn’t wrong to exist in a way that’s natural to you, no matter how inconvenient it is to others
no one person’s autism is worse than another’s. no one autistic person is “sicker” than another. autism isn’t an illness, rather a different way of perceiving and reacting to our surroundings. it is not our fault that we have difficulties, rather society’s for condemning us for just behaving naturally
@@uwu-iw7lo I know you don’t recover from it you just learn how to cope with it and how to handle certain situations. You really have a good point and I one hundred percent agree with everything you said.
@@uwu-iw7lo I’ve been made fun of my whole life for being autistic and people look at me differently when they find out or see how I act. It’s hard to express or talk about how I feel and I don’t know how. A lot of the time I just cry and get told I’m a attention wh*re because I cry. I don’t know how else to let my emotions out so my natural instinct is to cry and tense up and block everyone out
Love is what the world needs more of
@Dapper Don. With that attitude it is
Yes
💯
You are so correct🥰
God is love :)
I’m autistic and locked myself in the bathroom right now because I had a meltdown. Seeing this makes me feel a lot better about people accepting and understanding autistic people. God bless this woman and all the other people on the plane ❤️
Edit: thanks for the sweet messages guys 🥰
Edit 2: I’m writing this two years after I wrote this first message, and I’m still getting sweet responses and people telling me I’m loved. Thank you so much, it means the world to me. A lot happened in the past 2 years, mostly negative which I blamed myself for for a long time. But I’m proud of myself now. I’m proud of my autism and I love myself. And I love all of you. You are awesome, you are loved, you are not alone. Bless your hearts ❤️
God bless you❤️
Bless your soul ❤️
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You are loved my darling!!! Autistic means unique!!! My son is and I would not change him for anyone in this world!! Muah
@@johanasalazar5284 you seem like an amazing parent ❤️
As a former flight attendant that sounds so dangerous. I mean I love it but that’s not safe man … seat belt sign is on for a reason..
I’m sorry but this is ridiculous… If you know your child has special needs and can’t handle a flight then give him some nyquil before so he’ll sleep the whole way rather than annoy other passengers and overwork the already busy flight attendants… it’s a cute story but being on that plane must’ve been so annoying
This is so nice to see. I have 2 sons who are both autistic and have some very stressful times which are made worse by people looking and not been very tolerant.
So naturally it is a great plan to take them on an unnecessary trip on a plane, which is stressful at the best of times. Newsflash, people "looking" on a plane does NOT "make things worse." Bringing a child with those issues on a plane makes things worse, for the child, the parents and all the other passengers. Everyone else on the plane paid alot of money to travel in uncomfortable surroundings, and their needs seem to matter NONE. Instead, they are blamed, vilified and accused of intolerance if perhaps they don't want to be kicked and listen to screaming the entire time. This is the "the world revolves around MY child" attitude that really bugs me.
Cool man 4 real
@a you obviously have no heart or any children. Or you are just a miserable fucker. So because people have disabilities they don’t have the right to go on trips and enjoy the things other people do. I bet your one of them that are muttering and staring and complain when u see a child having a meltdown and put it down to bad behaviour or it’s the parents fault. I’ve got a lot more I could say but I won’t

Cold Cam ???
Wow ,This moved me to tears. Thank God there were wonderful people on your flight, this is a wonderful moment.
A wonderful moment we need much more of.
All people are different. And you should know that. 🤗🥰
Coral Hinton. Yes all people are different. And we all know this. Children with autism are different in their personality, for example they aren't jealous, they don't have the love of money, asperger's of course makes them highly intelligent, you may have to use a dictionary to understand the meaning of some words.
@@zebrinapendula922 are you autistic? cos i am and i get jealous just like anyone else, just tend to internalize it unless i'm really close with the person. money is as important to me as it is to anyone who also requires it to survive. i have a high iq but misunderstand simple social cues and tend to take everything literally. everyone needs to look at a dictionary from time to time when they wish to understand a word they don't know yet. i don't understand your comment, stating that everyone is different doesn't offend me? it's just an accurate observation of the human condition.
@@chaoticzen I am not autistic, my grandson is he's an adult. I raised him so we have a special bond. My personal and his experience is what I based my comment on. Keep in mind he was diagnosed with aspergers at the age 18, even though he was in Special Ed, since 1st grade. In regards to use of a dictionary it's based on him being high functioning, highly intelligent. In my opinion he is different in a positive way. From some people's spelling and grammar on the comments, makes your comment incorrect. I apologize for making my comment offensive to you.
Zebrina Pendula What are you on about? I’m autistic and I’ve felt jealous, I do like having money so I can buy food and things that make me happy... not to mention Asperger’s has been erased from the DSM for years and is now just considered autism. Please stop dehumanising us. We’re not magical perfect beings who are free from greed and are highly intelligent by default. We are human beings with flaws like any other human being.
@@fabplays6559 You may want to add rude to your list. How am I dehumanizing people? Never would I do what you are suggesting, my feelings and opinion is based on what I have learned from raising my grandson who is 30 yrs old. I apologize for coming on as smug, arrogant, I certainly didn't mean too.
Sorry but ABA doesn't actually stop the issues, the mask falls off in adulthood. Learn to teach awareness and the kids in school need to learn about it to not be assholes when they grow up!
I was on a flight to Florida to meet my mom and go to Universal for a summer vacation. There was a young girl with Autism on my flight and she was also having a meltdown. She can back and forth from the front to the back of the plane and sat next to me. When the mother had asked if I wanted her to bring her back, I said only if she wanted to. Best flight of my life. She was a very sweet girl.
thank you so much, people like you are amazing and as a person with autism i appreaciate it very much bless u :)
Your comment isn't in English
Autistic kids can be the sweetest you’ll ever meet when they’re calm or in a good mood. It can be hard to see it when we have meltdowns or get overwhelmed, but we’re a special and very loving bunch. I get along really well with autistic kids since I’m autistic myself, it enables me to easily connect with them and bond with them.
I have a severely autistic 6 year old and I totally feel this mama.
I just wish I had the kind of family she had and had a family that told me I do a great job from time to time.
Keep doing your best! I have a 16 year old, non verbal daughter. Yes, it gets hard and frustrating at times but guess what? You got this!!! Just know that your child has a strong, loving mom who will do anything for him/her. I hope you have a great day and more afterwards.
You all doing absolute best. In fact you strong and you can do it. U the best mom ever
Hugs
You do a great job mama!!!🤗
You are doing a great job mama !! Love you for that... I feel yeah.. my baby has CP...and it’s a similar feeling I have sometimes, so when I say this to you I feel I am saying this to myself too... you are a superwoman and your child chose you because they knew you’d be the best mama for them ❤️
Yes, it's hard when your family isn't supportive. I had a lot of trouble with mine and it's a very bitter thing. I'm sorry if you have to deal with this. I hope you have someone you can talk to who IS supportive; a friend, another parent, social worker, someone. Hang in there - it will get better!
The part where she said "My family tells me this stuff all the time, but to hear it from a stranger is unbelievable" I get that, I hear that so much because I felt that same way with my son. My family was always there to tell me I was doing great, that I was doing a good job and they were proud of me, but I don't know something about a stranger seeing you battling with everything you have to keep your child calm through a store or through a flight or even just walking down the sidewalk and having them come tell you "YOU ARE DOING A GOOD JOB, YOU ARE A GOOD MOTHER AND I SEE YOU" it makes the world of difference especially in post partum when the world is crashing and breathing is like an inconvenience. The people who did this for the boy, and the mother, are wonderful and I hope you continue to spread light and love 💖💖💖
Lucky they were on that very flight if they had different people on the plane 😬
I can relate to how she feels...I have a 30 yr old son with autism. God bless her and her son. We need more people who have compassion.
The Lord bless those who showed kindness🤍 to this little boy and his mother.
GOD BLESS 🙏 flight attendants words were a true blessing for everyone to take to heart of How WE ALL should act ! See things 🙏🙏🙏
No way this was United Airlines 😂.
Always expected the unexpected. The have a lot of CEO. Larry Kellner their last Chief Executive of Continents retired in 2009 and United airlines is Glenn Tilton from 2002 to 2010. Jeff Smisek from 2010 to 2015. Oscar Munoz is from 2015 to 2019 or 2020. Now , it is Scott Kirby until a change happens.
Yes . There are still a FEW good people in this world . I wish there would be more
I also have high functioning autism but I do struggle with anger against unfairness and injustice and I like to scream 😱 and yell at strangers when the crap 💩 hits the fan in my life
As a mom with 2 special needs kids this brought me to tears. Beautiful❤
He is a blessing
Amen
Yes Amen God bless
Autism is not a blessing
@@iamnotthatguy7166 but he is
He looks so friendly ❤️
Why is this news?
I do not have autism and i would have a meltdown on a flight
I love love this story. Big hugs to the Mom and applause for everyone on board. I wish more people were like these.
As long as the parents are trying their best to keep their kids behave, I am okay but if I see the parents relaxing or on their phone while their kid is bothering and or hurting other people then that's a different story.
Meltdowns aren’t really the same as tantrums. We can’t control them, and threats of punishment only escalate the situation and make it more stressful.
@@fabplays6559 I agree, meltdowns are COMPLETELY uncontrolled reactions to overwhelming situations and really only pass with time and removing yourself from said situation. Getting angry because a child is upset crying on a plane is just ignorant and arrogant because a child will cry, it’s natural, and due to needs not being met
As a mother of an adult autistic man, I understand the meltdowns, and the kindness of strangers.
This is how we as the church show honor to God. Spread kindness and show paitience everywhere you go. God bless these strangers and this mother but most of all that lovely young man.
I have had meltdowns like that and I am middle aged! What an amazing and loving mother!
Let’s keep this same energy. With older kids with autism and children of color.
Yeah. True.
Who ever disliked this video is horrible... no offense👍
You weak uchiha
Thank God there are people who still have and share love...
I was stationed overseas. All of us Moms were told to check with our kids Drs before putting them on the plane! Smartest best advice! Most of us were given pediatric sedatives for our kids! For 8-10 hour flights it was appropriate and appreciated! One Mom had 4 kids under 6, just her and her kids! Damn straight having them sleep through most of the flight was a godsend! That was the late 80’s
I have high functioning autism, and I can understand little autistic kids having meltdowns when they go on a plane for the first time. I’m glad I have a great support network to help me.
Me too. I’m also high functioning autistic. Once I had a small meltdown on a plane home from California. The flight attendant came over and asked if we needed anything and if we were okay. She helped calm me down and brought me a ginger ale and pretzels (the taste of Ginger ale is also calming to me). Flight attendants are so kind and understanding.
Yeap...it's all so beautiful until you get an unexpected turbulence and that kid flying to the roof. Oh, then they would sue the flight company.
Uh what
This is everything. This is so beautiful. Before my 9 year old special needs daughter passed away in 2014, we definitely had to deal with our own not so fun circumstances including being kicked out of a restaurant because she was too disturbing.(she was laughing too loudly)....But there was definitely the good times as well and it filled my heart with such joy when people acted like this. What a wonderful story
What happened to your autistic daughter when she died?
I wish the world would have more love like this❤️
It’s awesome when adults act like we should putting a child’s needs and comfort before yourself…..no one asks to be born with disabilities or mental issues if only this happened more regularly…..gives you hope though
Today is my 28th Birthday and I was diagnosed with autism 21 years ago this month. It was shortly before my birthday. What I see here really touched my heart.
He doesn't have the type of autism you grew up with. He's the type that can't talk and doesn't have a fully functional brain
So hard to parent children with disabilities, they need all the support from ALL of us. 👍💗😥
People need to stop giving in to this behaviour don't fly if you can't control your child and stop playing the autism card why should us normal humans who want a peaceful flight put up with this I'd want the parents to refund my flights why not have special flights for those that can't sit and be quite I was on a long train journey once and some brat started screaming and acting up as we'd gone through a tunnel loads of us told the parents to control it or go and sit in the toilet the ticket inspector came through to our carriage and said there been loads of complaints and as it was a packed train we couldn't move else where the inspector said if he's going to behave like that every time the train goes through a tunnel the to be truthful it's best you get off at the next station and make alternative arrangements we all cheered three times he returned and then he told the parents to gather up there belongings as there were going to be made to leave the train as they announced the stop coming up we all waited with baited breath and lo and behold there came two train staff and Escorted the family off how we all cheered and we all kindly waved at them standing on the platform and the rest of our journey was quite and peaceful let it be a lesson if you can't travel without causing a scene then travel by your own transport
don’t be selfish. just because someone has a disability doesn’t mean they shouldn’t enjoy life??

This United Airlines flight DEFINITELY had friendly skies.
Its wonderful to know people respect the situation. Bless the mom. I worked with learners with autism and they are amazing little people. One has to understand that they dont like change!
I mean its very lucky for her there were passionate people on that plane. The mother isnt an inconvenience...the special needs child is. That young man will always take take take from society's special programs, special funding from the public ect..he will also take his mothers life away.. there will be no independence after 18...not at his level. She will take care of him until she dies..unless she gets smart and lets him live out his days in a special care home after age 20 or something. Again...other people's time energy and money. Someone who cannot give back to society like an independent, functioning human. Someone who isnt capable of understanding what others have to sacrifice for him. He is an inconvenience...thats a fact not an opinion. The only difference is if you accept the inconvenience or not..like the mother obviously has and the folks on the plane.
I did not and will not...i knew the child in my womb would never be independent with the special needs they would have for life i was not willing to place yet another burden on society to help me take care of them. I aborted and then i had a hysterectomy, then i adopted. Best choice of my life
Thank god. My son has severe non verbal autism and I can barely leave my house. We deserve to be able to go on vacation and do things other people do as well. It’s hard but we have to live too ❤️
What’s sad is that this isn’t the norm. Imagine if everyone always reacted with compassion and empathy instead of mommy shaming the struggling parents who can’t regulate her kiddos emotion at that second.
Oh please 🙄
What
I’m sorry but I would’ve not been as kind. If I get kicked and screamed at by a kid on a flight I paid hundreds for I’m telling them to keep their hands to themselves and shut the hell up in a stern manner. Idc what they have going on, adults shouldn’t be subjected to that type of behavior. This woman got lucky. Hopefully they find a way to keep him calm while traveling from there on out.
🤡
that woman has to be timeworks’ wife
My big brother has autism he is 18.
Why are the mother and the reporter sitting on the floor??
If they were trying to talk to the child, the mother knows it's best to get on same level with the child. Kids do better even with autism if you get down on their level than standing above or even sitting higher than the child.
You are kinda daft aren’t you?
@@globetraveller7274 why? I get if the kid was there but he's no where in sight
Reporter looks so uncomfortable!
@@JRspeaking exactly, it looks weird
Here is the thing there are different forms of autism and not all are equal. I get people want to be tolerant and kind but also know the stress your are not only putting yourself and your family through but also others when traveling. I am not saying that you can't go on vacations just maybe he is too young still to understand and learn to better react. I read some people lock themselves in the bathroom or use a weighted blanket but I feel if your child is over stimulated this bad maybe an airplane isn't the correct thing to use. I just feel a lot of parents really push their children and then expect everyone to cater to their child and it's hard to know when a child is just being a spoiled brat or has autism or other medical needs and of course people will judge. People with autism have a routine and different way of processing things and stimuli and trips like this when the child is forced to leave their comfort zone become stressful for everyone. Just my opinion
It’s nice to know their are good people, after seeing many videos of the airlines intolerance and cruelty to young children who would not wear the mask,
I have special needs and I know what it is like to get upset in public
Me too. Happened to me at work last week when I got overstimulated. It feels awful.
God Bless that flight crew .... this is how everyone should react, with kindness and understanding
WOW!! THAT IS FREAKING AMAZING!! My oldest is Autistic and this story brought tears to my eyes. For an ENTIRE flight to be ok with his outburst is freaking awesome,cause that's definitely a "once in a lifetime thing!" Usually you always encounter someone who just dont care. It's always hard to go anywhere,even a simple trip to the store. I have encountered many rude people who just doesnt understand autism and I'm also SUPER SHY and just feel like a burden whenever she has a meltdown in public. So hearing this story,really touched my heart and makes me have faith in humanity..especially when it just wasnt one person but practically an ENTIRE FLIGHT!! I just wish there could be more people out there whose this understanding when it comes to people with special needs..These are the stories our NEWS should be sharing more of and less of all the bad that's happening in the world..🙏🙏😁😍🥰
I'm so glad her experience was such that she was surrounded with people who were empathetic. Wish this would happen more often. God Bless her and her beautiful blessing. He is a blessing!
@@grantnewman4971 Just born with it. I did an internship with autistic preschool kids they are very sweet. Meltdowns happen because of sensory overload because they can't filter the senses of their environment.
You go mommy! I'm an autism mom!
Poor flight attendants
I’m crying 😭 God bless people with a developmental disability 🙏
Thank u God bless u 2
My 6 year old cossin cooper also has it. But he is a smart little bot and i will alwags live him
Dont ever tell thoses mother's anything about your son
There is nothing ruder than sticking your screaming monster on a plane for all the other passengers to share for hours on end.
I drive a bus and my passengers are special needs children. Been doing this for almost 5 years now. I don't know about anyone else? But I got attached to all of them.
Bless the folks who spend time with these beautiful people. And a special bless for their parents who are the superstars. There's purpose in my life now.
I had a toddler freak out next to me on a 13 hour flight. My gf who was next to me and I have that weird kid energy where they just find us and we ended up babysitting him for almost the whole flight he was so cute and the mom who was dealing with an infant was sooo grateful. Just show kindness.
Why would you encourage such irresponsible behavior? You're part of the problem, mate.
@@KFrost-fx7dt Um it’s a scared toddler and we had the chance to show kindness and relax a mother who was beyond exhausted by that point. He had fun on a 13 hr flight and everyone didn’t have to deal with a screaming child who doesn’t understand why his ears are popping and he has to deal with all the commotion of an airplane.
@@KFrost-fx7dt How is being helpful to someone “part of the problem”? You are obviously an unsympathetic passenger who likes to complain about other people who are having a trying time.
@@barbarahope1934 Well you're wrong.

Kudos these lovely mom, flight attendants and passengers. These people make living in this world so wonderful.
I can understand if People dont like to be hit or kicked at. I think those Parents need to understand that too. And if Kids scream all the Time yes it can be Horrible. Most Parents think people need to understand and be patient. You can not count on that. Because you never know what the other Person goes thru. And he is not a bad Person because he cant take the present Situationen with that child. So maybe this is to consider also.
the parents should have never taken this kid on a flight
if your kid can't behave it shouldn't be in public
Business idea: A separate airline for disabled where they are made comfortable and given exception. ❤️
But that would just be contrary to the idea of mainstreaming them. The goal is to make them adjust and learn to blend in society. Separating them and putting them along with other disabled is like segregation. I have a 5 year-old with autism. In a normal school with a SPED teacher and with teraphy and lots of patience, he's learning how to socialize. That's a leap of improvement for me. I'm just so proud of him!
Beautiful. I had the same wonderful experience a few years ago. The passengers and crew were the best and totally understanding when my son had a melt down during his first flight. So glad you had such a wonderful experience ❤
I want a video clip of the passengers showing kindness for the boy having a meltdown on the plane though? Where's that at? 🤔🤔🤔
It perhaps would have been a tad rude to take video of a distressed child and even once he was calm it could potentially agitate the little guy.
This story was after the fact.
As an autistic person it would make me extremely upset if videos of my meltdowns were posted online, even in a wholesome story like this.
I don’t have any children yet. But unless you’re in someone else shoes, don’t judge.
My child is not autistic, but she does have sensory processing disorder and regularly has meltdowns in unfamiliar situations when she is overstimulated and can’t get to a comfortable space that she perceived as safe. This melts my whole mama heart ❤️
Since this is the case, hopefully, you wouldn't travel to far away places with her and risk disturbing others.
I am on the spectrum and I have sensory problems too. Whether it be bright lights, new things, long sleeves, shoes, etc. last week I got overstimulated and had a meltdown at work. I’m glad my coworkers are beginning to understand the warning signs. Keep your head up mama! I support you!
Where's the apology for the beegle family?
tru
Are they the family where the mom stated to the flight attendant that her daughter could become violent if not provided a hot meal while the plane was preparing for takeoff??
@@leenmusthafa In what sense do you mean?
bruh A U T I S M is not something easy to deal with, okay?
@@yque4733 Not quite, they weren't in the middle of takeoff. The mom asked for a reasonable accommodation, even offering to pay extra for the hot meal and was initially rejected. She got upset and explained what would happen with her daughter, who made a little bit of noise but she eventually got her hot meal and calmed down. THEN the pilots decided to land the plane and kick the family off. It was a very poorly handled situation. I just watched that video earlier.
I'm trying not to cry but with all the negative things happening in the world the kindness and love shown by strangers can warm your heart and restore your faith in humans. My grandson is autistic and I pray kindness is shown to him and all others like him...Thank you for sharing this video💕
Kindness, understanding, abd support are the three things we need in our lives. I am an adult with autism
It would have been different story if the family were Black!
This is the America we should all trying to be.
This absolutely brought tears to my eyes. For once the passengers understood this little fella. Its hard to have a special needs child but its also wonderfully when people understand & steps up to help. God Bless This Family
I am sooo glad that flight attendants came to step in, and help the little boy calm down!
I call inspiration porn
Aba therapy 🤔 not good
Why not ? Can you advise better ?
@@mjones6894 Aba isn’t great due to forcing neurotypical stuff on people it’s not good period
I have autism but its not that bad im just an normal 12 year old playing roblox
Why fly? You're inconveniencing a hundred people just so you can conveniently travel. Sounds pretty selfish to me.
bc kids should be able to have fun no matter what??
@V1nce 2 im autistic but i’ve never been on a plane but it’s kinda unfair some people think that it’s something we can control
@V1nce 2 why are you making up scenarios? They flew to a beach within the United States. They could have drove or she could admit taking him on a plane is a horrible idea. He was pulling people's hair and kicking them, dude needs to be put in his place.
@@s4sh-g6g that's an idiotic statement.
@@jimmyreece5781 he doesn’t need to be put in his place. he’s autistic. if he could stop doing that he would...
Im 23. Autistic. I fly alone. I cry every time. People are surprisingly kind and understanding ♡
I’m 20 going on 21. On the spectrum as well. It’s okay to cry. I do it a lot.
