This saddens me to know that SouthwestAir failed to demonstrate the compassion and overall lacks the knowledge in understanding of how complex the brain of a child with autism functions. Sensory motor issues are VERY challenging for a child with Autism. educateyourself
Tricky situation...
rules people, follow them. nobody wants to follow rules and laws anymore
Good decision by Southwest. Autism cannot be treated as an EXCUSE for some people to go ROGUE in a PRESSURIZED CONTAINED CABIN and IMPOSE their NONSENSE on other people
Sorta not wrong of SouthwestAir , a virus is a virus.
👎🏾
But they weren't wrong though
I am sorry that the family has to deal with this, but the virus doesn't discriminate.
Arrest that child.
