Flying with a hidden disability - Autism

[@maverickhistorian6488]

I was diagnosed with autism at the age of 52, airports are a terrible source of anxiety for me, being alone amongst others also feeds my depression. I worked in airports for twenty years and never thought about it, but now having to fly or even go near an airport is like going to the hospital for an operation. I'm going to Edinburgh at Christmas and I'm dreading it already.

Indian Civil Aviation desperately needs to view and implement this for air travel with autism.

Well I was unable to see an elderly relative in India before she died because Indian Airports didn't respond to my advocate regarding reasonable adjustments. I tell my story in my article "The Dangers of Not Informing People of Their Rights" which has been published in The British Journal of Social Work.
