Matters needing attention for children with autism flying.

When traveling, especially when flying, we need to pay more attention to some things. In addition, if you take children or the elderly out, you should also take good care of their health. Today, Bian Xiao will help you understand the precautions for this autistic child to fly.

Matters needing attention for children with autism flying.

1. Start with a short flight and try not to exceed one hour.

2.

Let the children have a psychological preparation. A few weeks before flying, tell the children what it's like to fly. Detailed process: Arrive at the airport, queue up, check security, find the boarding gate, board the plane, fasten your seat belt and stay on the plane for a period of time. Children can be asked to read some children's books describing the feeling of flying.

3.

Exercise. Ask if there are any exercise programs for autistic children at the local airport. Many airports allow families of autistic children to have a safety drill.

Many airports, such as Washington Dulles International Airport, Boston Logan Airport, Philadelphia International Airport and Arizona Airport, even provide families with autistic children with further contact with airplanes, such as simulated boarding, and the number of such airports is increasing.

4. Let the airline know your situation as soon as possible, and apply for a spacious seat at the airport to reduce children's sense of closure and prevent them from kicking seats.

Call the hotline of the Traffic Safety Administration three days before the flight takes off, and the Traffic Safety Administration will communicate with the airport service center to help you pass the security check smoothly.

5.

Bring your own meals and snacks. If the flight time is long, please ask in advance whether the flight provides food. If so, ask them to prepare special food for their children, such as gluten-free food. Or you can choose to bring your own food, or you can buy it after the security check.

6. Apply for priority boarding. Apply to the airline for priority boarding, and arrive at the boarding gate in advance to reconfirm the application. Priority boarding allows children to sit safely before the influx of people.

7.

Take the necessary items. Airport staff may need to check the child's diagnosis certificate. Anything that can keep children calm can be taken with you. If children are sensitive to loud sounds, wear soundproof headphones.

Try to keep the children in their seats and bring some books, toys, DVDs, etc. And don't forget to bring the charger. Besides, take some clothes for emergency.

In fact, to tell the truth, some autistic children are more suitable for getting used to a regular work and rest life, so traveling outside is not very suitable for them, especially traveling by plane, so everyone should pay attention to their children's situation!
