A mother and her son with autism were stranded in Aruba after the teen had an episode on a plane. Now she hopes airlines will rethink their policies.
A New Jersey mother and her son with severe autism, who were vacationing with their family in Aruba, were stuck in the country for two weeks after the boy had a meltdown before takeoff on their return trip, the family says.
The family's ordeal ended with a return home by sea rather than air after an organization advocating for people with an invisible disability coordinated their trip home with a cruise line. Jamie Greene, her three children and her boyfriend, Carlos Pacheco, flew to Aruba on May 7 for a family vacation. Greene said she wasn't worried about her son Elijah, 15, who has autism traveling by air because he had been on a plane at least twice in the past.
