And there was a GMA story on it the next day. <br /> <br /> It doesn't even matter if the kid was autistic. The kid wasn't secured and wasn't following FAA regulations. The attendant told the mom several times and then tried to secure the child. If the mom knew that her son would freak out, she should have secured the seatbelt herself.

Certainly many of the autistic are tactile defensive and sensitive to people's moods while flight attendants are overworked, underpaid and sometimes surly as hell. This was not a good mix.
