Dear 'Daddy' in Seat 16C Flight 1850 From Philly

1/9/2014

Dear 'Daddy',

I don't know your name but Kate called you 'daddy' for the entire flight last week and you kindly never corrected her. In fact, you didn't even flinch as you could probably tell that she was not confusing you with her own 'daddy' but instead making a judgment regarding your level of 'safety' for her. If she calls you 'daddy' then you better believe she thinks you are alright.

I sat Kate in the middle seat knowing full well that there would be a stranger sitting next to her for the duration of this flight. I had to make a quick decision and based on her obsession with opening and closing the window shade I figured she might be less of a distraction if she sat in the middle. I watched the entire Temple basketball team board the plane and wondered if one of these giants might sit by Kate. They all moved toward the back. She would have liked that, she would have made some observations that I would have had to deal with but she would have liked those players. I watched many Grandmotherly women board and hoped for one to take the seat but they walked on by. For a fleeting moment I thought we might have a free seat beside us and then you walked up and sat down with your briefcase and your important documents and I had a vision of Kate pouring her water all over your multi-million dollar contracts, or house deeds, or whatever it was you held. The moment you sat down, Kate started to rub your arm. Your jacket was soft and she liked the feel of it. You smiled at her and she said: "Hi, Daddy, that's my mom." Then she had you.

You could have shifted uncomfortably in your seat. You could have ignored her. You could have given me that 'smile' that I despise because it means; 'manage your child please.' You did none of that. You engaged Kate in conversation and you asked her questions about her turtles. She could never really answer your questions but she was so enamored by you that she keep eye contact and joint attention on the items you were asking her about. I watched and smiled. I made a few polite offers to distract her, but you would have none of it.

Kate: (Upon noticing you had an IPad) Is dis Daddy's puduter?

You: This is my IPad. Would you like to see it?

Kate: To me?????? (I know she thought you were offering it to her to keep)

Me: Look with your eyes, Kate. That is not yours.

Kate: Dat's nice!

You: (Upon noticing that Kate had an IPad) I like your computer, too. It has a nice purple case.

Kate: Daddy wanna be a bad guy? (She offered shredder to you and that, my friend, is high praise)

You: Cool.

The interaction went on and on and you never once seemed annoyed. She gave you some moments of peace while she played with her Anna and Elsa dolls. Kind of her to save you from playing barbies, but I bet you wouldn't have minded a bit. I bet you have little girls, too.

Not long before we landed Kate had reached her limit. She screamed to have her seatbelt off, she screamed for me to open the plane door and she cried repeating, "Plane is cwosed (closed)" over and over. You tried to redirect her attention to her toys. She was already too far gone at this point, but the fact that you tried to help your new little friend made me emotional.

In case, you are wondering. She was fine the moment we stepped off the plane. Thank you for letting us go ahead of you. She was feeling overwhelmed and escaping the plane and a big, long hug was all she needed.

So, thank you. Thank you for not making me repeat those awful apologetic sentences that I so often say in public. Thank you for entertaining Kate so much that she had her most successful plane ride, yet. And, thank you for putting your papers away and playing turtles with our girl.

my name is JULIE MATTIE. When i read a testimony online on how dr.drust the great and most powerful spell caster online of great ultimate temple, i was wondering how can this be true, Because many has failed me in the past without any result from them. I just let the post pass by and move on the forum. To my notice under again, Some person posted and said tested and trusted spell caster. After reading through the mail it was this same dr.trust she was talking about. So i have no other option than to really check up how he works. Thank him for making my wish come true! I was totally devastated when my beloved lover left me. It was like my entire world vanishing into sorrow and pain. I felt how sincere, honest and authentic he was from his first email. I know it sounds weird but out of all the spell casters I contacted, he was the only one to give me that impression of being so true and trustful. More than his words, it s the fantastic work he accomplished for me that I will keep in mind. He brought my lover back and he made all my wishes come true. He is now loyal, pays attention to me, he offers me flowers every Sunday, and we often go out at the cinema and the restaurant. I will be forever thankful for turning my life from hell to heaven! i believe who need help should get to him for help. TRULY SPEAKING THIS MAN IS REALLY A GREAT SPELL CASTER AS HE DID NOT FAIL ME BUT GRANT MY WISHES BY BRING MY HUSBAND BACK TO ME. if you are passing through any kind of difficult in your relationship email him and he will help you (ultimatespellcast@gmail.com or ultimatespellcast@yahoo.com tel:+2348156885231) to get the problem solve, Because there is no spell caster online like him.

This is such a great story, it brought tears to my eyes. I have a daughter and know exactly what it is like to have to do the apologizing. The amount of stress and sadness parents feel in public when others are feeling annoyed by a child is heart wrenching. My girl is a teen now and other people no longer make me feel that way. I feel for Kate but her parents are to be applauded. What a great story. Thank you for posting.

My name is Adams Bella, i live and work in Oxfordshire, UK. My life is back!!! After 2 years of Broken marriage, my husband left me with two kids, I felt like ending it all, i almost committed suicide because he left us with nothing, i was emotionally down all this while. Thanks to a spell caster called Dr.Trust of Ultimate spell cast which i met online. On one faithful day, as I was browsing through the internet, I came across several of testimonies about this particular spell caster. Some people testified that he brought their Ex lover back, some testified that he restores womb,cure cancer,and other sickness, some testified that he can cast a spell to stop divorce and also spell to get a good paid job so on. He is amazing, i also come across one particular testimony, it was about a woman called Vera, she testified about how he brought back her Ex lover in less than 2 days, and at the end of her testimony she dropped his email.After reading all these, I decided to give it a try. I contacted him via email and explained my problem to him. In just 48hours, my husband came back to me. We resolved our issues, and we are even happier than ever.Dr.Trust you are a gifted man and i will not stop publishing him because he is a wonderful man. If you have a problem and you are looking for a real and genuine spell caster, Try him anytime, he is the answer to your problems. you can contact him on (Ultimatespellcast@gmail.com or Ultimatespellcast@yahoo.com) or call him +2348156885231. he is the best caster that can help you with your problems.

She starts the letter by saying she doesn't know his name but wants to thank him. She how did she send him a letter if she doesn't even know his name? Maybe this never happened?

Kirk

1/16/2014 01:00:04 am

Mike D.: There's such a thing as an "open letter." It's usually done when the author does not know the person to whom said letter is directed, it's directed to a large group of people, or it's directed at a specific corporation/governmental entity/organization and the author wants the general public to be aware of the letters content. At no point in the article does it say the author sent the letter to anyone. Perhaps, rather than projecting your own insecurities/defects of character, you could take the time to figure out what's wrong with your own situation that would result in you making suggestions of untruth. Then fix it.

Amanda

1/16/2014 02:22:40 am

Kirk - Did it ever occur to you that here, on a blog about an autistic child, that autistic people might be reading this? Because Mike D's comment sounds exactly like something someone who takes things too literally at times might say. Do you know who does that? Autistic people. Maybe you shouldn't project your own negativity on other people. Why don't you go fix yourself.

This was a very touching story and I am so glad that things turned out well. Sometimes we forget that there are still good people out there and are understanding. I imagine that the man thought about his plane ride with Kate all day. Something simple as being kind to someone can really make a difference. Paying it Forward without realizing it happens, too.

I, too, encountered an angel while on a flight, many years ago. My daughter was 11 months old, and teething. We were coming from the southern part of Mexico, and every airport we went to was closed for 2 hours for the Pope. The last flight was from Dallas to Denver. We ended up traveling for 24 hours. The last half hour on the plane, my Meghan started to cry. And cry. And cry. I wanted to cry, too, and was frantic to quiet her. I apologized to everyone around us when I could, and one lady got up and came over to me. "We've all been there," she said. "Don't let it bother you."

Since then I have repeated that numerous times to new moms. I hope they got--and will continue to get--reassured and comforted by those words, just as they did me. And, funny thing; I used to hate the sound of babies crying, and fumed and steamed when it happened. Now I smile, nod my head, and it hasn't bothered me at all.

I know and known what you have gone through... I was 19 going for a check up when I found out I was almost 7 months pregnant... a few days later I had my son... but he was the size of my hand and stayed in the hospital. To find out I had a long road ahead... See he ended up having ADHD and a form of autisum....my family never took the time to understand.....so I left them for reasons only a caring parent would know...... Even having my son I graduated 2 colleges but ended up having problems personal but his love and knowing he is always there trying makes things OK......he was what saved me....I was alone and even with all the trials and bumps in the road he is 15 right now and every one knows him and is always there to help. Do not loose your heart kids are there for love. People most of all must learn patients to have it. I am proud to say good to you the proud parents of Kate and tothe person that sat with her on the plane.

I think this man was one of God's angels. I work with persons who are differently abled. I love what I do everyday as I see improvement or just stability in my patients. And for Kate's mother you should not have to apologize to STUPID people because Kate is differently abled. She like them are one of God's creations.

I took a four year old and a two year old on an 8 hour flight to Sweden with my husband. Unfortunately for him he had to take them back alone as I had to come back sooner for work. The flight was great at first and people seemed genuinely delighted by daughter's pure joy about the flight. But my kids are very VERY active, inquisitive, and loud. At one point my daughter just kept kicking the seat in front of her. I'd tell her there are people up there, you want someone kicking your seat, that's annoying to them, mean, etc. She'd stop for awhile. Then bam! And she'd laugh. I was so embarrassed. Eventually the seat kicking stopped, but the whining started. She wanted off the plane. She was bored. Why can't we just go out that door over there? Then crying. Talking. Yelling things with her arms defiantly crossed. Totally a terrible experience.

Several people were nice about it. My husband lost his temper and yelled at them to stop it. And the plane being full of Swedish people that didn't go well. He was chastised by an elderly lady behind us.

Then...a girl in hipster glasses turns around and hisses "Please control your child. I'm trying to sleep." I could totally empathize with her, but her tone was horrible. And it was my husband she addressed so I forcibly withheld my laughter. The "do you have kids? These are individual human beings. I've been trying since the flight started. Have you not noticed? Do you have some suggestions?" rant/questions came. She then said something snarky like you shouldn't have kids if you can't control them and turned around.

I will admit at that point I didn't care if my daughter kicked her seat but she didn't do it again. They were still whining of course (both my kids) but as we had an extra seat (because my in-laws that bought the tickets think I'm crazy fat even though the MIL wears a bigger size and is shorter and never needs two seats but I digress) as we had an extra seat my girl actually just stretched out and went to sleep. My son fell asleep in my arms and I don't know why that girl turned around again, but she was about to bitch again and saw them sleeping and looked very annoyed.

I don't think my kids have autism or anything. They're just like me. Get a bit overstimulated and overwhelmed sometimes, and I've gotten the dirty looks a lot in stores. I haven't even dared brave a restaurant. Though the MIL had us all sit down in one when I was going to just grab sandwiches and sit outside. That was a nightmare.

I don't know what my point was. Just sharing. And even us with so far as we know neurotypical children run into unpleasant social situations. I've had people yell at me I needed to smack her ass with a belt when she was two and running around IKEA yelling "I'm a princess!" and twirling. People saying shit like that's what happens when teenagers have babies (I'm in my thirties, just look kinda young), and so many glares. It sucks and I don't know what to do as I don't just let her do whatever she wants. She doesn't really respond to much of any form of discipline. Hope it gets better soon.

Kristine, you are a very special person and you and your son are a blessing, sweetie. Thank you for sharing. God bless!!!

I would of done the same thing. I know screaming wailing babies on a plane can drive any person mad, but focus your brain on something else and youll be clear in no time. I am not a heartless person, I love children all the same no matter what's wrong with them. The guy who played with her to distract her from being in fear of being on a plane, you should be the king of the world, beautiful person you are.

""Grace & Jay-and everyone else who knows the truth re natural medicine and autism-In being diagnosed with terminal cancer, my wife as a last ditch effort started learning about with natural {i.e. God's] medicine, and she has learned so much and somewhat by accident and osmosis has learned that natural medicine can deal with autism. The keys are detox, supplement diet to help systems that don't get what they need from our current food supply, eat no processed food, purify your water-both what you consume and what touches you, and-this is the hardest-no sugar in any form and no carbs. Like so many folks she has talked to about this, many many of them who believe to their core in so-called modern medicine, say
"What have I got to lose? "Modern" medicine hasn't helped me and has taken all my money-and prescribed endless useless drugs." Ten years ago my wife, who at this moment is making me an omelette, was given 6 months to live by modern medicine.. Please please check out natural medicine. Guy McClung, San Antonio

As the father of an Autistic boy, who has spent 9 year researching (I am a former NSA analyst), and has dealt with meltdowns, stimming, etc, I can give you a short list of things that changed my sons life and returned much of his brain function.

1) Chlorella (Powder, mix with Green Goodness from Bolthouse Farms for taste)
2) R-Lipoic Acid
3) N Acetyl Cystein
4) Bentonite Clay mud masque over the entire body, dry, then bath
(1,2,3, and 4 need to be done on the same day, with plenty of hydration)
5) Gluten Free/Casien Free diet for 1 year for meltdown elimination
6) Threelac probiotic from Global Health Trax
7) Vitamin B12 on Chlorella off-days.

Add grain to this list. Thank you for posting your list. Diet plays a integral part in all mental disorders. Read ''Grain Brain''. The author was on Dr. Oz recently. I took 1 of my children off of food color dyes, wheat, corn and sugar. I saw a different child. No one needs to be eating corn! It is GMO and a cause for autism along with intestinal problems...

Doctor Mike

Being a NSA analyst does NOT make you an authority on Autism therapy. NONE of the crappy things you mention could POSSIBLY help a kid with autism. Dream on...placebos work SOME of the time.

Doctor Mike - I doubt he mentioned the NSA analyst bit to claim authority, but rather to point out that he is a voracious and talented researcher who spent a long time pouring over a lot of materials. Let's not be rude to people who share things that have worked for them, esp things that aren't harmful. Many of those things are a good idea and all are safe to try.

I have a 9-year-old boy who was diagnosed with "atypical" autism 2-3 years ago. I noticed that some of his behaviors were not like normal kids. He was quiet very shy when he was 3. I've tried all I can to increase his social life, track his learning and teach him whenever I can. I tried not to protect him when he needs to learn this himself. He is improving a lot and acts almost like any normal children now. So I believe Kate will improve amazingly over time, with your love and attention.

I feel the derrogatory statements on this blog have blighted the beautiful story this mother wanted to pass along. I am the mother of a learning disabled child and one child who is so called "normal". I also am grandmother to a highly functioning autistic child. What I have found is that we all need to learn more about the afflictions of life so that we know what these special needs children and their parents go through on a daily basis. I have alway taught my children to not stare or make comments about others who were different than themselves. I taught them that it is unkind. I taught them that if the child or the parents are on board to explain more about the condition their child has, it would be a learning experience to my child but for them not to ask questions unless they get an ok from the child or the parents. I also learn daily about medical, physical, or medical conditions which I have very little knowledge of, so I look it up on the internet to get more informed and if a parent tells me their child has a certain affliction, I get permission from them to ask more about it as with a wealth of information, we all stay informed and act accordingly without prejudices and with love, honor, and compassion. This mother placed her child where she could keep a close eye on her needs, care, and safety. Autistic children are very intuitive often. It is sad that in some circumstances, there are some who cannot be trusted but we can't negate the overwhelming population in this world who are basically good people. Please, before you call names and talk disparaging to others, get the facts on a story, situation, person, place, or thing. The mother who had the bad experience was also correct in saying she needed to protect her child. Both these mothers were doing just that, protecting their child but the children are out in the world everyday. Society as a whole needs to accept that and them without disdain, anger, or hurtfulness. This was a wonderful story which should have been told to show what goodness we do still have in this world.

I have a daughter with Autism and I know the acute anxiety that results from events that other parents with neuro-typical children would not even have to even think about. Thank you for giving me a little bit of optimism-people can surprise us and be compassionate, sometimes when we least expect it. I read once that instead of parents teaching their children that it's a hard world-they should teach their children to make the work less hard. Maybe that's what Eric's parents taught him and hopefully this story will inspire others to do the same.

NOT CUTE and ALY are so WRONG. I babysit a 3 year old named Kady who is atypical autistic. Others don't understand autisim until they actually have someone to see it in the works. Kady cannot speak much, but can understand. She does have her outbursts as did Katy in the plane story. Giving Katy on the plane the added attention was so nice of the gentleman passenger. Yes all kids like added attention, but espessionally autistic ones.
Writers of NOT CUTE and ALY are NOT ones that we would want as passengers next to us ANY WHERE. They would be RUDE, BULLIES and just NOT help in ANY WAY.
I fully AGREE with all other post following ANNA.
* THANKS for you sweet story of SEAT 16C and KATY. What a true inspiration of LIFE and that WE ALL CARRY some baggage of our own and our own story.

1/16/2014 09:09:05 am

Absolutely nothing great or appealing about this story. This story only entertain parents who feel it is okay for their kids to annoy people without and care for others. That man could have been tired as hell,but had to play the role society often expect us to play, that of being the good guy. My kids would never behave like that, neither would I allow them. Because I know how insulting some adults can be to kids and not all adults are kids friendly.
When you have your children behaving like this, they grow older believing it is okay to do it as teenagers or even adults. Behaviors like hers lead to bullying, because she believes everyone must accept her tantrums. If she demonstrated her behaviour for a few minutes then we could say it is somewhat cute or acceptable, but for an entire flight? Come on Lady, you even accept the fact that you often apologize for her behaviour and it hasn't dawn on you that your not parenting right?

April

1/16/2014 09:36:50 am

People like you are the reason that parents of special needs children fear for our children. We aren't parenting "wrong." We are being strong for the children that can't do it for themselves. Who the hell do you think you are to judge a child with disabilities. I am thankful to God that your children are healthy and "normal" but I am also thankful to God that my son is NOT. Autism along with all of the other mental disorders are REAL. And they really happen to children. Do you tell the schizophrenic to just stop seeing and hearing things that are not there? If you do, you will find out it doesn't work. It's the same with kids that have autism, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder and all of the others that exist out there. They can't control it. Maybe as they grow up they will get better at dealing with it but there is no cure at this point. Get off your high horse of thinking you are a superior parent and take the time to learn about these very special and amazing kids that are different from other. May God open your eyes and show you that you are wrong and that understanding is the way to go. In the mean time I hope that neither my family nor any other family that has special needs kids ever has to deal with your ignorance.

You're an ass

1/16/2014 09:44:59 am

This is in response to "NOT CUTE": Hey douchebag! Did you happen to notice that the author mentioned a few times that her child has autism? Sometimes we adults have to fly somewhere, (for a funeral, wedding, family event) and cannot get reliable childcare for days on end and we have to bring our children on a flight. I did and yes, my children were very well behaved because that's how we roll at my house. However, they don't have medical issues that effect their brains. I am also annoyed by screaming children in restaurants and stores and especially planes, but I also know that sometimes bringing your child is unavoidable (except for the restaurant situation...please eat at home if your kid can't behave in a restaurant). Don't accuse anyone of not parenting an autistic child right and compare them to yourself unless you are willing to parent an autistic child yourself to see what it is really like. My best friends son is autistic and at times refuses to wear shoes, breaks things in public (all of a sudden, for no reason) and has the worst temper tantrums I've ever seen. She is a FANTASTIC mother and her other children are straight A students and wonderfully behaved kids. Until you know what your talking about, how about shut up with your stupid opinion.

I really could not agree with you more. I'm sorry that so many people are being so hateful towards you on this post for having an unpopular opinion. 99% of the time, 'autism' is just a result of poor parenting and would not happen if the parents knew how to discipline their children. I would spank my kids (if I had them) and give them a good scold if they acted out for an entire flight. Kudos to you for this post.

April

1/16/2014 12:28:06 pm

To Ms Aly,

I'm glad that you admitted that you do not have children. Your a damn idiot. "99% of the time, 'autism' is just a result of poor parenting and would not happen if the parents knew how to discipline their children" So you suggest that we should beat our 2 and 3 year olds, that have been diagnosed by multiple medical professional, and they will just be cured huh? By all means please post the medical research you have to back that claim up. Ignorance does not become you ma'am. Until you have a child diagnosed with a mental disorder I would thank you to kindly shut the hell up. Until you have a child with special needs you may want to keep your ignorance to yourself. You are just making yourself look bad. If you care to share your email address I will send you a video of my 5 year old autistic nephew who is also deaf and physically disable and you can tell me how "spanking" him will make him all better. Smh. And they say ignorance is bliss.

1/16/2014 02:17:05 pm

are "Not Cute" and "Aly" joking???!!!! Autism is caused by bad parenting and we should spank it out of them..WHAT.
You have GOT to be kidding to have uttered such an assinine statement such as that.
I DO have a child (a toddler) who happens to be neuro-typical and I can tell you that it does NOT take spankings for her to behave....it's called proper parenting. It doesn't require the use of brute force and fear. It's called fair and clear discipline, boundaries, and boundless love and encouragement!
However, for those who are parents of neuro-atypical children to imply it's somehow their fault for not spanking enough...I am simply floored at the stupidity of your statements. Have you opened a book within the last 10, even 20 years? Have you read a single medical study on PDD or autism ever...or are you simply speaking out of sheer ignorance?
Educate yourself, please. For the good of mankind. So that children you may bring in to this world don't aquire the small-minded, judgemental beliefs that you currently hold.

My reply to you could be offensive, ignorant and vulgar but that would most likely only serve to feed the need you have to do what you do. Do what you did. Surf the net and try and crank people up. I feel for your children, your spouse if you are in fact still together. I feel for your grandchildren and the lessons you pass on to those around you that learn from your examples. With that said I only question your reason for even commenting as any good parent teaches their children, "if you can't say something nice, don't bother saying anything at all!"

I'm sorry that you weren't raised by people such as them or perhaps you'd have become a more understanding and compassionate person yourself. I'm sure I am joined by many others on this thread in giving YOUR parents the benefit of the doubt and chalking your rudeness and ignorance up to a child who just took everything they taught you and threw it away. Learn, live a little, then speak. Till then you're just embarrassing yourself.

You don't know one thing about an autism do you ? Kids ask many questions and they our in their own little world but being asked to be a part of their world is some kind of wonderful .So do us all a favor and keep your horrible comments to yourself we don't want to hear them.

Not cute?

1/17/2014 09:45:56 am

I don't think it said she had a tantrum the whole flight. She didn't seem to be upset until the very end. It sounds more like she just played with the guy then got upset towards the end. Many kids have their ears pop and don't know how to handle it so that might be what happened.
The guy seemed willing to play because he kept on even after the mom offered some alternative activities. Had he been exhausted and unwilling he probably would not have engaged the child. Some people do just want to rest, you are right. This doesn't sound like that case though.

This is a very ignorant statement to make. Do you know what it is like to have to deal with the struggles everyday with a child that has to have extra attention and help because the mind works differently? It is not a matter of person allowing their brat to do what ever they want, it is a matter of the little girl has a mental disorder that needs some extra attention. It is obvious you do not have a child that needs a little special attention and you must be one of those people that have never dealt with this situation. I do not personally have children, but I have dealt with this all my life from friends and family members. All it takes it a little love and understanding. To which you have neither. Bless it be for the family and the wonderful gentleman for showing a little love to a stranger and giving some hope to the mom that there are people out there that do care. Not everyone is like this idiot who posted this comment. Blessed Be!

In regards to "Not Cute", I hope you never have a special needs person in your family as I am afraid it would "break" your family. Anyone who does not even want to begin to understand the need of a child with autism is the bully. You have no compassion in your heart for those you are "special". This child did not "choose" to be autistic and they really have no control over their actions; it just happens. Fortunately for her and her family YOU were not that stranger that sat next to them on the plane.

Not Cute and Aly:

I'm a high functioning autistic who used to be a boxer. I went out undefeated and still keep up with my physical abilities.

Either of you try to spank me into a neurotypical state, I'll punch both of you into a coma. I've hurt bullies before...very badly. One of them still can't use his left hand.

And they wonder why we don't talk to people. The few of us who can communicate are appalled.

The man in 16c reminds me of so many childless men, or even men with children, who have tolerated and even entertained me when I was having a meltdown of my own. I've even had nice older women help me shop when I go out.

Do I ask? No. But it's nice.

Neither of you two have any idea what it's like to be autistic, and until you do I suggest you shut the hell up.

Has it ever dawned on YOU that perhaps you're not parenting right? This beautiful child was born different then most people, including myself and likely you and your children and the incredible thing is that she's probably the smartest of anyone. She isn't inhibited and self conscious, she isn't judgemental and prejudiced and hypocritical and she sees the real beauty in the world and in people, and just wants to show kindness to others, and befriend those around her and I think that those qualities make this child smarter and wiser than most people I know. And certainly more so than you. You sit there and judge a mother and a CHILD as though you are better somehow? Being a judgmental, narcissistic, uneducated and ignorant human being shows that YOU are the problem with this world. Hopefully your children don't grow to resent you for stifling their passion and joy with your cruelty and your bigotry. Hopefully you never have a grandchild with special needs. People like you disgust me. This family is probably stronger then you could ever imagine and a million times tater at parenting because they understand real love and haven't let the world make them a bitter and heartless person. Do you also enjoy kicking puppies on your spare time or simply finding rare stories of kindness and love in a world that isn't always kind and loving and spewing your venom all over it to distract from your miserable life? You talk about bullying,the only way there is bullying is because people like you,who are small minded. You're an ADULT and you're bullying a child. Let's just hope that your children haven't really picked up too much from you. The only thing NOT CUTE around here is you

Aly, I'd love to see the research behind your statement "99% of the time, 'autism' is just a result of poor parenting and would not happen if the parents knew how to discipline their children." As a Special Education teacher with a Master's Degree and 15 years experience and the aunt of an autistic child I've NEVER seen any research that supports your statement. I pray that when you do have children they don't have any type of disability because I would be very concerned about the abuse they would face since you seem to believe autism is the result of poor discipline.

1/31/2014 10:48:24 am

You should go find 'daddy's' response he shared with abc network. His name is Eric. He is a father, he enjoyed playing & entertaining Kate. He went on to say he was overwhelmed by the response and even got a little emotional when he said how good this letter made him feel.
Kate is autistic. She is also child and a human. Everyone deserves respect. Not just adults or parents or teachers OR you, EVERYONE.
You have no place judging anyone, but another mother? Another mother's child? I pray for you children who are growing with such displays of utterly disgusting and unwarrented hate. Shame on you. I hope clear your heart of hate, before you fill your childrens hearts with it. Shame!!

Dear Not Cute,

I honestly pity both you and Aly for not knowing the facts about the subject your speaking on. While it's true you are entitled to your opinion it is just for that reason that I will not completely lambaste you here.

Contrary to what either of you may think autism and the behaviors that come with it have nothing to do with bad parenting. So before you come to a blog like this spewing venom and hate please...do us all a favor and learn about the subject being discussed.

Thsnk you to the passenger katy called Daddy. You showed immense patience, kindness and love with her and that is a rare trait. For you to take the time and patience with katy shows you are an extraordinary man. God bless you!!!

I want to say thank you thank you thank you to Ancient Dr Zuma zuk spell temple for everything so far. To everyone who doesn't believe in spell, I was one of those ones at first. I wasn't quite sure if I wanted to do this since I've tried others so-called spells casters and they did not work and was a waste of my time and money. However, when I read through the testimonials of other people at this website and after I talked Dr Zuma zuk who answered all my questions and was very nice about everything, I decided to give it a try. I figured it would be my last try to get my guy back. So my story is that I was at my office when the guy I am in love with told me that he wasn't in love with me and never will be and that he didn't want to speak or see me again, especially since he was talking to this other girl. When I talked to Dr Zuma zuk, he let me know which spells would be most appropriate for me and I chose the ones that was to get him back to me and stay with me and want to marry me.As soon as he started on the spells, my guy came back into my life! It was a miracle to me and I'm so thankful for that. Things have been going well, and pretty much according to what Dr Zuma zuk said would happen. He's always there when you need him and that's also after the spell is done. I'm still waiting for the spells to completely manifest, but with all that has happened so far I'm very happy because given only four months ago in March, if you asked me or my friends if I would have anticipated how things were right now no one would believe it!

My name is Taylor Borg,All thanks goes to Dr.Trust for saving my marriage from toning apart.i feel so grateful and only have good words about a powerful spell caster named Dr.Trust who helped me bring back my wife. We had been apart for 4 months, at first I was thinking if I was doing the right thing by contacting a spell caster, but I so much love my wife and won't give her up for anything in this world. I decided to contact Dr.Trust through his mail address I found on several testifiers messages online,and I told him about my situation, he laughed and told me my wife will be back to me in the next 48 hours. I felt it wasn't going to happen at first until my wife called me and was so eager to have me back more than anything on earth.. Now we are together and she cant do without me,and both of us are happy. I feel so happy sharing this testimony because there was no negative act attached to his work. His work was smooth and fast.

I am Jasmin Fuentes from USA, my husband of 25years of marriage called James, we both had a misunderstanding which lead him to ignore me and go for another woman, I tried all I could to bring him back but there was no way out, he still insist on his words saying “he don’t love me anymore” my parents and his parents try all they could to bring him back and settle both of us, but he disagreed, I was so frustrated and don’t know what to do really, because I loves him so much than anything and he means a lot to me, I had two kids for him, but he refused to take care of us and even beat us and call me and our kids with all south of disruptive names, I brought the problem to the court, the barrister try all they could but still insist that he is going to give me a divorced letter, so on a certain day he brought a divorced letter home, telling me he does not want to see me anymore, we all packed and went to our new house, why he brought his new girlfriend home, and heard that they we be wedding this weekend, so I was crying and was in pain, because I know I did nothing wrong and don’t not know why James drove me out, so my kids home teacher came to give them their evening lessons, and was so surprised that James drove me out of his house and she asked what happened which I explained everything to her, she told me that when she was still in this type of problem, that this was how he met a spiritualist doctor called DR AWAISE, he helped her to bring her husband back home between 24hours, I was so surprised to hear that, though I don’t believe on love spells, I decided to call dr also and I spoke with him on the phone and I told him everything that is happening as at now, he told me that I should not have anything to worry about all I need to do now is to have full faith and trust on him and he is going to do everything possible to make him come back and cancel the wedding ceremony, he told me that I should send him his and my information’s to his email, which I did, in the next 35minutes he called and told me to provide some materials which he will use to make him love and bind him closer to me, which I did also, after some minutes of speaking with doctor on phone, the next thing that I saw was a car packed in my compound when I looked down to it, I was so surprised seeing my ex lover James coming down from the car, the next thought that come to my mind was this doctor is powerful and his love spells are really real, he walked down to the parlor, kneel down immediately he saw me and pleaded on his behalf that, he knows he really hurt me but I should forgive and forget everything which has happened, that he was charmed by the other woman, and he also said to me with smiles at his faces saying guest what? “that he has cancel the wedding and put stop to the relationship he had with the other woman” I was so surprised to hear that, tears of joy roll down on my face and I walked to where he was kneeling down and raise him up and accept him back, now we are now fully settle down with our kids, happiness, joy is now in our hearts and we all have peace of mind now and understand ourselves fully, I don’t have another word to say than to say I love you doctor for what you have done magnificently in my life, you can also email doctor and asked for his help but I promise you that, he is going to help you in whatsoever situation you find yourself, his works is genuine and 100% sure and guarantee and is the best services… Email DR AWAISE on LANDOFOGUN@OUTLOOK.COM and you can contact him at his phone number via +2347032286452

My Name is frank am from london..I never believed in Love Spells or Magics until I met this special spell caster when i contacted this man called .Dr.AZZA.He is really powerful..My wife divorced me with no reason for almost 5 years and i tried all i could to have her back because i really love her so much but all my effort did not work out.. we met at our early age at the college and we both have feelings for each other and we got married happily for 4 years with two kids and she woke up one morning and she told me she's going on a divorce..i thought it was a joke and when she came back from work she tender to me a divorce letter and she packed all her properties from my house..i ran mad and i tried all i could to have her back but all did not work out..i was lonely for almost 5years.So when i told the spell caster what happened he said he will help me and he asked for her full name and her picture..i gave him that..At first i was skeptical but i gave it a try cos have tried so many spell casters and there is no solution.so when he finished with the readings,he got back to me that she's with a man and that man is the reason why she left me.The spell caster said he will help me with a spell that will surely bring her back.but i never believe all this.he told me i will see a positive result within 24 hour..24 hour later after the spell has been casted,she called me herself and came to me apologizing and she told me she will come back to me..I cant believe this,it was like a dream cos i never believe this will work out after trying many spell casters and there is no solution..The spell caster is so powerful and after that he helped me with a pregnancy spell and my wife got pregnant again ..we are now happy been together again and with lovely kids..This spell caster has really changed my life and i will forever be thankful to her..he has helped many friends too with similar problem and they are happy and thankful to her..This woman is indeed the most powerful spell caster have ever experienced in life..Am Posting this to the Forum in case there is anyone who has similar problem and still looking for a way out.

Probably all this testimony you read about spell casting online are spam right?And yeah some are spam some think all of them are spam which is totally not bad and i also know some believe spell casting really works but have not been able to find the right one.Well i think i found the right spell caster Dr jaja.I know he is real not cos he helped me but because i was there in his temple i Have seen him and his temple and i tell you it can’t get more really that what am writing now.I know you may want to know why and what lead me to contact a spell caster i am an American woman here in USA by name Shanina Douglace as a matter of fact in America having a male child is like the most important thing in a marriage and it turned out that i am married to a very traditional man as he believes the male child carry the family name on and on but the females get married and change there name which is true.I were married for six years and i had no male child for him .Maybe friends and family filled his head with a lot of things like i don’t have a male child for him and as a result he need to get a divorce and get another wife that can bear him a male child.I always thought the people that filled his head with this ideas where is family and friends the people that i smile and dine with.The very people who ought to have advice him rightly.I never found out if they where involved in wanting to ruin life and my marriage.Not because i could not find out but cost i didn’t want to develop hatred for them cos i will always get to see them and it is not really healthy seeing the faces of people you hate.At that time, i mean before i knew my husband got himself a lover i was paranoid about him having a lover cos our lives changed a lot he starting coming home late he wouldn’t touch me any more and even he started avoiding me in our home making up excuses to stay all day in his study room doing nothing and telling me his need something off to clear his head.We had fights all the time i brought up the matter if he was seeing someone else.Maybe he got tired of lying i don’t know he finally asked for a divorce.A divorce my family saw him through his university and got him a job i told myself and now he’s asking me for a divorce cos i don’t have a male child yet for him.He was ready to let go of his three beautiful daughters he asked that i take them along.Maybe he was a real f**l and didn’t know what he had and maybe he didn’t deserve someone like me but one thing was crystal clear to me i was still in love with him and i wanted a complete family for my kid that and the fact that i raised him from the gutter i didn’t care about any of his problem when i married him and i forgot to say my father never approved our marriage but still i jumped into it thinking we are going to have each other forever.Though we are still together now but its cos of the spell i had jaja12demonspell cast on him to make him see how much he needs me in this life.When i contacted Dr jaja he asked that i get the materials for the spell which i did and delivered the materials to him in person that is to say i came in contact with him.I was to return in to his temple in 4 four days and within those 4 days he gave me a blessed red candle asking that i command and say whatever i wanted every night within those seven days which i did on the 4thday when i returned to Dr jaja temple he gave a harmless powerful substance with instruction on how to use it.This might seem like fiction or lie or what ever you lucky reads may think but deep down you know its true you just looking for a way not to get involved.I ve got my husband back and my family And also i have 2male children which i gave birth into as twins baby boys if not for Dr jaja where will i have been now, may be my enemies will be probably laughing at me but all shame to the enemies all my thanks to the spell caster dr jaja for every of his helps towards my life and marriage.
contact him with his email if you want his help also jaja12demonspell@gmail.com
or His cell phone number +2347062241597 you can contact me here if you are having problems in reaching him my email is.. Shaninadouglace@gmail.com

Hello, my name is Miss faith, I'm from UK. I want to inform you all that there is a spell caster that is genuine and real. I never really believed in any of these things but when I was losing Garvin, I needed help and somewhere to turn badly. I found consultant.odia spells and i ordered a LOVE SPELL. Several days later, my phone rang. Garvin was his old self again and wanted to come back to me! Not only come back, the spell caster opened him up to how much I loved and needed him. Spell Casting isn't brainwashing, but they opened his eyes to how much we have to share together. I recommend anyone who is in my old situation to try it. It will bring you a wonderful surprises as well as your lover back to you. The way things were meant to be." you can contact the spell caster on ogbonispelitemple@hotmail.com he's very nice and great.

i just want to share my experience and testimony here.. i was married for 6 years to my husband and all of a sudden, another woman came into the picture.. he started hailing me and he was abusive. but i still loved him with all my heart and wanted him at all cost…then he filed for divorce. my whole life was turning apart and i didn’t know what to do .he moved out of the house and abandoned the kids.. so someone told me about trying spiritual means to get my husband back and introduced me to a spell caster…so i decided to try it reluctantly. although i didn’t believe in all those things… then when he consulted his gods and cast a return and love spell, after 3days, my husband came back and was pleading. he had realized his mistakes. I just couldn’t believe it. .anyways we are back together now and we are happy. in case anyone needs this man, his email address is eromosalspiritualtemple@gmail.com or thought hid website http://eromosalspiritualtemple.webs.com or call him with +2348161850195

I felt how sincere, honest and authentic you were from your first email. I know it sounds weird but out of all the casters I contacted, you were the only one to give me that impression of being so true and caring. More than your words, it’s the fantastic work you accomplished for me that I will keep in mind. You brought my lover back and you made all my wishes come true.

I am basically writing you back to give you all of my thanks. Ever since I finished working on the first kit (Love Me Again), my results have been excellent. All I can say is YES, YES YES!! You have been a great help to me and very patient as well. That is so important. When people start working on things that are new to them, there is so much that they don't know. Especially since working on such kits you are calling on spirits for help and you don't want to make any mistakes because you're afraid that anything could go wrong if the work is not done right (such as myself) and I know that I have questioned you a lot. I can admit that I was having some doubts at first and that I was just hoping that this relationship could be helped due to all of the negativity in the relationship. Now I know that there was help and hope for us once again. You have been the best as far as love spell is concern and responding to questions in a timely manner. And I can also tell that you as the support staff are very bright and well educated people. I just wanted to leave you with this note. But mainly you. Even though I know that there are other spell caster, you have been the one that i have really seen a good result from the casting of the spell....thanks once again {Dr Royal}( Royallovespell@gmail.com )(Royallovespell@yahoo.com)or his website (http://Royallovespell.webs.com) or call him on +2349037171626,....

My name is Adams Bella, i live and work in Oxfordshire, UK. My life is back!!! After 2 years of Broken marriage, my husband left me with two kids, I felt like ending it all, i almost committed suicide because he left us with nothing, i was emotionally down all this while. Thanks to a spell caster called Dr.azen of Ultimate spell cast which i met online. On one faithful day, as I was browsing through the internet, I came across several of testimonies about this particular spell caster. Some people testified that he brought their Ex lover back, some testified that he restores womb,cure cancer,and other sickness, some testified that he can cast a spell to stop divorce and also spell to get a good paid job so on. He is amazing, i also come across one particular testimony, it was about a woman called Vera, she testified about how he brought back her Ex lover in less than 2 days, and at the end of her testimony she dropped his email.After reading all these, I decided to give it a try. I contacted him via email and explained my problem to him. In just 48hours, my husband came back to me. We resolved our issues, and we are even happier than ever.Dr.azen you are a gifted man and i will not stop publishing him because he is a wonderful man. If you have a problem and you are looking for a real and genuine spell caster, Try him anytime, he is the answer to your problems. you can contact him on (dr.azentemple@hotmail.com) or call him +2348107642990. he is the best caster that can help you with your problems

I AM DIZZY ALEX FROM UNITED KINGDOM ,,,I have been in great bondage for about 7 years suffering in the hands of a cheating husband. We were living happily until he meant his old time girl friend and he started dating her again outside our marriage and before i knew it he stopped caring for his own family, to the extent that he was planning to marry her and divorce me. I cried and reported him to his family members but he never listened to anyone and to cut the story short, i came in search for a real spell caster who could destroy their relationship and make him come back to me and our 2 kids again; on my search i saw people sharing testimony on how their marriage was restored by DR OKAYA and i pick his email and told him the problem that i was going through, and he agreed to help me and told me never to worry. After he had finished casting the spell, on the second day, they both had a quarrel and he beat up his girlfriend and he came back home begging me to forgive him that his eyes are clear now that he will never do any thing that will hurt his family again and promise to be a caring father and never to cheat on me again. I am so happy that i did not lose him to the girl and all appreciation goes to Dr. OKAYA for his great work. You are a Great spell caster and to you all that are faced with this or similar problem to this, please contact him now on OKAYASPELLHELP@OUTLOOK.COM

Yes, these passengers are rare and hard to come by... everyone is so wrapped up in themselves--their own personal lives. It's so refreshing, not to mention heartwarming, when a stranger makes a decision to be kind. And it IS a decision. Life is difficult enough for parents of children with autism-- and very painful to watch others be unkind or easily annoyed and/or irritated. This was a sweet story! :)

Easily the most heartwarming story I've heard since you've started the blog. It is intersting to me that , from your description, the average person would have misjudged this kind soul as a Type A Executive with all its negative connotations as easily as the average person would misjudge Kate as misbehaving. It is Karma at its best that they ended up meeting in such an intimate way.
Love, love, love your blog.

I travel a lot and, hate to admit it, am not very empathetic to others. The next time I have a child kicking my seat, screaming/crying, etc. I will be reminded of this man's kindness to another human. A several- hour-flight is just a blip of time in my life … and maybe I can learn a life lesson from someone like Kate.

Maja,

I'm with you on the patience thing. I also need to be more patient. I work hard to over come my weakness of patience, but I have not conquered it. It is extremely difficult for me. I have a hard time even at a store with kids screaming their lungs out. I take a deep breath and try understand and not judge the parent for whatever they are doing/not doing. I'm glad I'm not the only one that needs more patience and practice to conquer it. Good Luck over coming your weakness in patience. You can do it and so can I! Good Job!

I am a teacher....a teacher of kiddos who have orthopedic impairments and traumatic brain injuries (K - 12). Some parts of the school year, I am not especially patient--especially during the end of each semester, District and State testing, and usually right at the end of the school year. But I can generally pull myself together enough to respond to a sweet kid. I like kids, but sometimes I can't seem to muster the appropriate, caring, and sharing personality that I usually have (contrary to what my high school students might say). My apologies to those who've been stuck with the grumpy me--hopefully, this will be a reminder that I'll feel better with a positive experience between any child, parent, and me. Wish me luck to maintain the sanity within this crazy world.

I learned patience a very long time ago. I travel a lot, on some very long flights and I always carry balloons with me....the king used to make balloon animals, etc. I remember one flight in particular, a long one, where there were a number of children and small babies aboard. A lot of them got very restless and, instead of just sitting in my seat, I started making various balloon animals, in font of the children who were either crying, kicking and/or squirming about. After making a couple of them, those children settled down and watched me. I ended up making quite a few balloon animals on that flight, for every child. My reward was the smile on each one of their faces as I handed one to each child. After the flight landed and all were getting off the plane, there were the children...happily holding on to their balloon animals as they walked off that plane. :) The children were happy and the parent/s were happy. Yes, I was tired, but my reward were those smiles from the children who were just being themselves....getting restless on a long flight and having to stay in such a small enclosed area at their seats. It really doesn't take a lot to put a smile on a child's' face. If there were more people like 'Daddy' in seat 16C on that plane, the innocent hearts of small children would be smiling all the way, on a long plane flight.... God Bless you, Sir, for being next to Kate and putting a smile on her heart. ♥ :) To Kate's Mom...Thank you for sharing such a wonderful story. Give Kate a hug from me, from Nova Scotia, Canada. You're a great Mom and Kate is a real sweetheart.
Regarding those who wrote negative comments about the post, all I can say is that I'm so sorry for your child/children, and to the woman who doesn't have any children, maybe you should think twice before having one! That is my opinion and I'm sticking to it.
To those who have the patience and do help...... (((hugs))) to you also.

Fortunately--very fortunately--the guy was not a pedophile! "Hey little girl, wanna see what's on my I-Pad?" A man once tried to expose himself to my daughter on the metro, he was subtle about what he was doing and he looked "normal." Scary!

When a man goes along with being called "Daddy" by a little girl, this should raise red flags!

Sad that you feel that way about society. Maybe , just maybe Kate found a decent man with someone as special as Kate in hs life somewhere and that s why he was kind and decent to her.
Sorry for your daughter's horrible experience, but not everyone nice to little kids is a pedophile.

I found this story to be wonderfully heartwarming, but this comment has taken some of that wholesome shine off. It's sad that we live in a world where people go straight to imagining potential threats instead of appreciating a beautiful moment.

Gitan, what observation have you made to determine that he is *not* a pedophile? Is it the fact that he didn't abuse her? Contrary to popular belief, not all pedophiles are abusive. Pedophilia describes a person's sexual interest, not their behavior or their empathy or ability to control themselves or their ability to distinguish right from wrong. I'm not saying he IS a pedophile, but surely you couldn't have gathered any information from that story to conclude either way. I am terribly sorry to hear what happened to your daughter, but it sure sounds to me that she was the victim of an exhibitionist with ethical shortcomings. Pedophilia very well may have had nothing to do with her incident, so I ask that you try not to cast blame on the easiest scapegoat. Don't let the actions of a single man represent your opinion of a population he may not even belong to.

Gitan

1/13/2014 12:36:09 pm

I probably used the wrong word with "pedophile." Maybe pedophiles are nice, but I don't want to find out by allowing my daughter to interact with any. The man who exposed himself to my 5 year old daughter was specifically targeting her. I am guessing he had a sick reason for wanting to expose his genitals to a little girl.

Children are victimized all the time and often say nothing. It is the parents responsibility to watch out for children. Fortunately, I took notice of the man's overly friendly actions with my daughter and he ran off quickly. My daughter still saw his genitals, and it makes me sick to think of this guy one day going along with being called "daddy" by an innocent little girl.

I'm sure Gitan doesn't miss the point behind the story at all. I'm sure Gitan fully realizes that its a story of a great interaction that instills more goodness into the world. That not everyone is bad.

But I'm ashamed at those of you who despite Gitan's comment. Gitan had a terrible experience, just as the author had a great one. It goes both ways. It's being open to the good, while still recognizing there is bad lurking about. None of you can discount the experience Gitan had. Its not Gitan's fault, its the creepy person who abused their trust.

I'm ashamed that while many of you can recognize and praise the authors experience, that you can then be so critical of Gitan's.

Gitan, my heart aches for you knowing that you live in a world of doubt and "red flags "...your fear is causing you to miss out on a lot of great experiences. Yes, we must protect our children and teach them to be cautious but not allowing them to interact with a stranger in your presence or causing them to think that ALL strangers are pedophiles is doing them more harm. I am soo proud that my now 21 and 22 year old kids grew up thinking positive things about people they met.

Believe it or not autistic children are often more perceptive of a person's inner demeanor than one might think. Having raised an autistic child myself (my son is 25 and still lives with us) as well as having a granddaughter with autism) I can fully understand mom's wariness with any stranger. I don't know if it is ESP or some trait of the autism, but whatever it is it works. My son can tell pretty quickly if he will get along with someone or not and has had to change therapists after only one meeting because he knew they would "click". But this little angel was very aware of this man's intentions from the moment he sat down. Kuddos to both the caring man and mom for having such patience to work with and handle what can be a very trying issue (autism) with such love and grace.

Richard Pawley link

1/14/2014 12:33:05 am

I'm sorry for the bad experiences your daughter had but I would have been tickled pink if "Kate" had called me "Daddy". I'm the oldest of 8 and have 27 nieces and nephews but no children of my own. One of the biggest emptiness of my life is that I never had children, especially a daughter. Little ones as young as Kate (I have a new grandniece named Kate) have not been in the physical world very long so they often still possess a spiritual awareness that adults have long forgotten. Sometimes they can sense the good or evil of a person much better than an adult. In my autobiography I mentioned a little tyke I saw in a restaurant about 20 miles from West Point (a long ways from South Carolina where I grew up). She was with a couple that I assumed were her parents. The young man was in an army uniform and the little girl was as cute as a button, much like the Kate of this story, and the parents were having a bit of a time with her, so I said a prayer that God would bless the little girl and give her a measure of peace and also her parents. The girl began insisting that she be taken out of her high chair and nothing would do until she was on standing on the floor.
She was about 2 years old and at least three tables away from me but she immediately started running as fast as her little legs could carry her across the restaurant until she reached my table where I was sitting waiting for my lunch and then she grabbed my leg and hugged me.
I was as almost as surprised as her parents who were from Ohio and the husband was doing six months of service at West Point in the lull between Desert Storm and 9/11. We talked for a few minutes when they came to get their daughter. As a follower of Jesus I believe this little girl felt the love of God coming through me and responded the only way she knew how. Jesus said "God is Love!" and if you will try praying for someone, troubled or perplexed, not just children, you will sometimes see them turn and look exactly in your direction, even if you are in a car or some distance from them. Adults, unless they have grown in faith and spiritual awareness, don't often have the sensitivity of a young child, but some can still feel the warmth of God in the prayers of others. Next time you are in a restaurant, or traffic or waiting in a line,and see someone who looks like they are sad or need help of some kind, just say a heartfelt prayer that God would bless the person, and if you truly mean it, don't be surprised if they turn and look in your direction. They won't know why of course, but you will, and your prayer, if heartfelt will have real value to them.

It is of course always best to air on the side of caution, and much harder for people who have been victimized to see everyone as a suspect. Its not idiotic, but statistically not a sound method, as only 10% of all child molestation acts happen by strangers. I'm very much appalled by the name calling from everyone else and the push to try to make this a double standard, knowing that your child's innocence is constantly at risk with 1 in 3 women have been victimized and 1 in 10 men. The double standard isn't a double standard, its statistics as only 4% of sexual molestation is caused by females. Not to say females aren't capable, they can be just as heartless, there are just not as many. Its sad to not be able to see the good in people, and there are good people, lots of them. Given the proper motivation, great people, but for people victimized or with a child who has been victimized, its had not to ask "what if?" about every situation. fact of the matter is, kate's mother, i'm sure, was very cautious, likely didnt let kate out of her site, and probably did have that "what if?" on the back of her mind with the action she would take if any hint of action was needed. you can't accuse everyone who sits next to you on a plane or the metro as a sexual predator, you should be cautious and always keep your children safe, but not teach them to be in constant fear.

Vonnie

1/14/2014 02:56:02 am

Don't listen to the insults, Gitan! I strongly believe in parent's intuition and if your mommy/daddy senses are going off, you go with that instinct! Your daughter's safety is more important than a stranger's feelings. Obviously, the situation on the plane was very different than the one you experienced on the metro, but there's no reason not to be cautious. I would also monitor the situation every second, which it seems to me this mother was doing. Lots of little kids are indiscriminate about who they call "mama" and "daddy" and I think this man understood that, but you can never be too careful. My son has autism. He's 12 and has no sense of stranger danger at all so I have to have it for him.

Your instant reactive judgement totaly reflects the opposite of Kates Mom's story. Even children who do not have disabilities are looked over by adults. This in my opinion is why our youth take guns to schools or seek drugs perhaps. I really can't watch this travesty at times. My thoughts immediately are to point out to such adults that rven the smaalest child is a HUMAN BEING. A small YOU!!

This is obviously a mother who cares deeply for her daughter. Being a mother myself, I can assure you that this woman would have a motherly instinct that would have VERY quickly identified this man as a threat to her precious angel. It sounds to me like she was fortunate that YOU (Gitan) didn't sit next to her. That, I can imagine, would have been a much less positive experience for her and her daughter. Someone who can so quickly put a sick twist on a beautiful story must surely be a pessimist!

I read this story and thought "wow, fantastic, there is hope for the world”. I would like to think that I would be like the fellow “daddy”. I also suspect that if it were to happen to me in real life, I would be so scared of being regarded with suspicion, of being asked to move by paranoid air line staff, of being regarded with “looks” from fellow passengers, that I would indeed just settle for giving the mother “the look” and keeping my head down thereafter. And this fills me with such sadness. And I hate how it has come to this.

You must have missed where the mom CANDIDLY explained that the daughter has autism and her calling a stranger "daddy" was nothing more than an association with safe feeling. As a mother I am sure you know that when child is or isn't comfortable you will know. When a man goes along with being called daddy it could mean that maybe he is a daddy... oh red flag America there is more than one daddy! seriously sad what happen to your daughter not trying to take that away but newsflash there are still decent human beings... and maybe they have hidden stories as to why the are as kind and loving as they are... who are you to rain on their parade?!

GoodOleVet

1/15/2014 03:29:34 am

When a child calls a stranger "Daddy", it shouldn't raise red flags, maybe a yellow "caution" flag accompanied by close attention. If you go around raising red flags in every unusual situation you're simply isolating the child and that's the last thing an autistic child needs. Give the "leash" a little slack rather than closing the child off from the real world.
This man and I have a lot in common - in the same situation, I'd have done exactly as he did. I love people, children in particular, and I'm not afraid to manifest it openly! You cannot possibly find love by being a closed person.

Gitan

1/15/2014 04:32:48 am

I never said that women could not be sexual predators. This story was about a male stranger and my daughter had a traumatic experience with a male who exposed himself to her.

The man who exposed himself to my daughter spoke kindly to her and smiled. He was wearing professional/office clothing. I could easily seem him playing along with the "daddy" thing. He had his private part hidden under a briefcase/bag and then when he knew my daughter would see it, he moved the bag over, trying to block my view of what he was doing. Something made me look over at him, and that's when I saw what he was doing.

My daughter did not react negatively. She was confused. She just stared.

This story was shared to my Facebook by a friend...and immediately I thought how lucky this girl was that she was not sitting next to the man we saw on the metro.

Bart

Gitan, I'm truly sorry for whatever happened in your life that is the cause of this attitude.

Sarah

1/15/2014 10:13:41 am

This is an AMAZING story, and I think Gitan saw that too - all she was saying is how lucky this girl was that the man was not an actual creeper like the one her daughter encountered...and very sadly, the ones who many young girls have had the horror of dealing with.

I'm a 3rd grade teacher (and former child and youth counselor) and am writing during a hectic time of year for me to try to try to explain where this is coming from. The sheer number of little girls and boys who are sexually molested by people with this exact same personality is disturbing - you can't even imagine how many I've dealt with or heard about in the last several years. Sure, we all hope and most probably assumed this guy was just a nice awesome guy (and he probably was!) but what I believe Gitan was pointed out was that many people with this personality are true sexual predator types. Very sad but very true. Google search pedophile personality if you don't believe me. I remember learning this very early on in my work with children. Pedophiles who act on their desires are often very good at 'charming' young children. It is an acquired skill if you will. This is a disturbing but true fact and why you should always listen to your instincts (with BOTH strangers and those known to your child). It is sad Gitan had to bring this up but I give kudos to her for being realistic - you wouldn't believe the sheer number of parents who aren't aware of these grave realities....and the disturbing number of kids who suffer harm as a result.

The only way I can grasp this horrible attack on a very realistic point that Gitan brought up is to believe these ppl are too (luckily) naive or uninformed enough to understand some types of men (and to a small statistical minority - women) who sexually harm children everyday. I wish my line of work left me less aware of "who" these people are. There are many days that I wish I could be like people like you, who think Gitan is so horrible for bringing this up because you believe it to be so irrelevant. But I don't.... because I can't ..... Because I have watched too many young kids lives literally fall about because of their attackers. I simply know all too well how much a child's life can be ruined by pedophiles who act on their impulses. And parents who have NO CLUE that ''nice caring friendly man" is/was the one harming their child (often not until many years later).

What most people can hopefully understand is the Gitan wasn't saying this man IS a pedophile - she is saying BE CAREFUL about anyone who takes an interest in your kid. Professionally, this is valid and realistic. I agree - calling another man "Daddy" is not appropriate and someone who doesn't at least mention his real name as a kind correction to the child is a tad strange. I only have these suspicions because of what I know about pedophiles and how they operate. Again, I don't want to say this (!!) but I believe parents need to understand the reality out there.

I guess what I'm trying to say, is Gitan sounds like a mother who cares about her children's well being .... not some awful person like some of you make her sound. THE REAL ISSUE are: the MEN (97%) and WOMEN (3%) who harm young children and to a much less extent the parents who don't information themselves on these realities thus potentially putting their children in harms way.

I'm sure Gitan would have loved to comment how lovely this article is because it is a great one! But her experiences (which thankfully don't even remotely compare to some of the sexual horrors I have heard young children disclose) don't make her a bad person for encouraging others to be cautious. The real issue is WHY perpetrators harm children and WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. Not some mother posting on a comment board.

My greatest wish on this earth, as a teacher and mother, is that less children get hurt because of people like this. All the hate comments I'll probably receive will be worth it if ONE parent reads this comment and listens closely to that gut instinct about people, especially men who take an interest in their kid .. (and I'm sorry I emphasize men but that's purely statistical, not hypocritical - stats don't lie) I credit Gitan for making a valid point about the importance of child safety regardless of the haters who have some learning to do in this area.

On a side note - thank you to the author for a wonderful story. There ARE lots of good people in the world. I have to remind myself of this many a day .. so I appreciate a good read like this. I like the believe this man was just a good person! But that being said, I'd never leave my child alone with him.

Sherry

1/15/2014 10:56:27 am

I disagree that a "man who goes along with being called "Daddy" by a little girl" should raise red flags. Why? because he was understanding enough to know that a 3 year old (whether one can tell she is autistic or not) doesn't necessarily "get" that every man isn't called "daddy"? Because he was kind? My heart goes out to you and to your daughter for your terrible experience, but I hope you can come to believe that everyone (or perhaps, every man, specifically) who is kind to a child might simply be a kind person with a kind heart and good soul.... Not every man who likes children, who is kind to them, who goes along with being called "daddy" by a small child, has bad ulterior motives. Sometimes, people are just kind. Again, I AM sorry for your experience...

Patricia Brecheisen

1/15/2014 01:15:27 pm

I disagree. I understand your concern, but just don't think every man should be considered a threat that allows a child to call him 'Daddy' without correcting her.

Jenn

1/15/2014 03:43:24 pm

Sorry your daughter and you had a bad experience with meeting "A" pedophile on the metro. But don't let that one person make you think that is something that normally happens, or that even any other man you and your daughter will ever meet in the future has those thoughts. Most of my friends are male and I have never felt more safe when my children and I are with any of them, and none of them mind a child calling them Dad or Daddy. Most caring people will not correct a child unless they feel it's for their safety, mistaking their name is not a risk. Don't let one experience ruin your daughter's belief in the good of mankind and if you think so, she will probably as well.

You really don't have to take a sweet story and turn it into something horrible. Nothing is going to happen with the mother sitting right there and the guy never asked to be alone with her. Sometimes good is just good.

So sad that this lovely event turned onto this mess of comments, but it shows me once again that there is no alternative in this setting but to turn away and ignore even delightful little girls like this.
My "no strangers in this world" bride made dozens of airport/airplane/bus friends on our recent trip to Australia and New Zealand, but this grandfather of three knows better than to even smile at the kids in tow with parents for fear of accusation or distrust.
As a physician I have provided care to a wide variety of the traveling public in sudden and often humiliating illnesses, held one twin while an overwhelmed young military spouse fed another and cared for a third toddler - ignored in her plight by a very stuffy and negligent stewardess (back in the day when that was in fact the title...) but feel less and less willing to pitch in or assist with the growth of this female centric hostility. You get what you incentivise, as the economists note - and the demonization of men will get you men not willing to provide assistance or any form of gallantry indeed.

Gitan, I'm so sad for you! I understand that your bad experience has made you leery of people and you have every right to that but I hope someday you will find peace and see that this story is just GOOD... period!

Please read Gitans statement closely before you feel the need to lambaste him so soundly. It does make some sense. Not in this case but in some cases it does.

I am truly sad for you Gitan that this happened to your daughter. Unfortunately this is what the world has come to. I wish you and your daughter peace and hope that you both heal from this one day.

Although, Katy's mother was right there observing her daughter and all actions taking place. I don't think a person would have done that.

This man was an Angel in disquise and made the time to show attention to this 3 yr young Angel. What a lovely connection to both sides and for the Mom to observe and learn from.

There are some nice people in and around the world. Everyone just needs to take a deep breath and live in the moment to grasp our "earthy time".

This is for Richard Pawley:
WOW! Reading your comment (just a few lines in) I can honestly say that I feel the LOVE OF GOD POURING OUT OF YOU and into your message. My intention was to read this WONDERFUL story and as soon as I can wipe the tears away respond by saying what an AWESOME and KIND soul "Daddy" is and how BLESSED KATE'S family is to have her in their lives because in my opinion, God picks SPECIAL people to raise SPECIAL children (and by special I mean TOUCHED BY GOD!) But I must turn my attention to YOU Mr. Pawley! You have been "hand picked" to go through this life to be EVERYTHING to EVERYONE. You may not have biological children but I am willing to bet my last dollar that you have been a "DADDY" to someone. You may not have even noticed but the love you are able to share has in some way, been what was missing in someone's life. I may never get the chance to meet you but the love I feel from your comment (spirit recognizes spirit) please allow me to give YOU a BIG DADDY HUG (via internet) LOL!
My prayer for you sir, "God please continue to use my brother Richard to bring smiles, reassure broken hearts, shed light and be a comfort those who need it most. I ask that you God, bless my brother Richard so much that the blessed say "He's blessed".
Dear Brother in Christ, everything I pray for myself I pray for you! May you continue to do God's will and keep being "Daddy" to those who God sends your way.
We won't meet in this life but I will see you in our Father's Kingdom. I'll be holding the sign that says "your sister from the blog" so you'll be sure to know it's me (LOL)
It was no accident that I read your comment! God knows just what we need...and when! I needed to read this...this message was meant for me!!!

All it took was a little understanding from someone who looked like they may not be understanding. There are some good hearted people out there still! I have had many parents apologize to me if their kids seem to bother me. But hey, I have kids with special needs. I get it. I just wish more people would take a moment to be more understanding. It doesn't take much! Beautiful story. Thanks for sharing.

I have a 3.5 year old son with autism and strangers and even family can be so mean. My son is high functioning altwe eshough has problems with his communication and sometimes will get upset and throw a fit. The looks you get is often heartbreaking when ppl look at you as if you can't handle your child or when you tell someone your child is autistic they look at your child like he/she has a disease. The kindness of this stranger puts a smile on my face knowing he did not judge Kate or switch seats like some would do. I hope "daddy" gets to see this blog and perhaps it might make ppl more aware and judge less

I never believe on love spells until i met a friend of my who told me everything about DR.OKUN who brought her ex-boyfriend back, even when she was telling me i did believe her because i thought that she also wanted the same fake spell casters to take away my money. Although i gave her chance to explain everything she has to tell me about DR.OKUN, i said to her that there are many scammers who want to take our money and i will never fall victim on them, even though my fiancee who suppose to marry to me in a few months from now left me i will wait patiently for another guy though i loved him so much. she told me that this DR is not a fake one that he is real and he has helped many people to get their loved ones back, then i ask her so how does this spell work and what is the requirements that i have to do before he can cast the love spells on me? she told me that i should emailed him on DR.OKUNSPELLTEMPLE@GMAIL.COM and i should tell him what i want. i really emailed him and tell him that i need my ex guy back and he told me that my friend directed her to me right, and also why am i doubting his work? he said that his work is 100% sure and guarantee that no one has ever come to his temple and also remain the same. i became flabbergasted on his words he say to me and a thought came to my mind that how does this dr know all the things we discussed earlier. he said before he can commence on my situation, that i have to have faith and trust on him and leave other spell caster and wait patiently for his own that if i can say do all this i will got my lover back in an hour time. i said okay i believe and promise to work with you alone, then he gave me a form to fill which i did and send it to him with my pictures also and also the pictures of my ex-lover. he replied me in 30 minutes later and told me that his gods need some items to cast the spell on me and my problem is very easy if i can provide these items. then when i ask him that how can i get these items and how can i send it to him for the casting of the love spell, he told me that i should not worry about that, that there is a items seller here in his own country that can get the items for me. then i ask him how much will it cost me to buy all these items? he said $150 (dollars) only, which i send to him with full confidence, after an hour later he called me and told me that my problem have been solved that i should wait for an hour time that my love will ask after me which i did according to his words, when it was about 6pm my ex called me that if am at home that he want to see me urgently. i said to him hoped all is well he said yes then i told him that he can come, my ex guy came back to me and he was asking for forgiveness that he did know what came upon him. right now am so happy because i have regain my lover back and we are planning for our wedding that is coming up soon, i called the Dr and thank him very much and ask him what will i do for him as a appreciation, he told me i should forget and keep my money that he is not after people money but to help people that also need help out there all he need me to do is to give more testimonies about him so that people out there who need help should email him also that's why am here today to give my testimony. may they good lord continue to bless him and give him more long life prosperity and wisdom. this is the Dr email address DR.OKUNSPELLTEMPLE@GMAIL.COM CALL HIM AT 2349034224808 thanks.

1/9/2014 10:18:43 am

Love it! Beautiful story told beautifully. I'm an only parent Dad of a now 18yo daughter with autism and nonverbal, but very sociable. We fly a lot (since she was 2) and she always sits in the middle. We've had a wide range of row-mates and never had a bad experience. I introduce us as soon as our new friend sits down and explain her disability and some anticipated interaction. We have, however, had negative interactions with a typical child of 6 who decided to use her seat as a kicking dummy, and an adult sitting in front of her who just HAD to lay his seat back into her lap, and a flight attendant who got openly hostile as we finished a feeding (when she was two) during the "please return to your seats in preparation for landing" phase of a 12-hour overseas flight. Good luck on future flights.

Jason

1/15/2014 11:10:45 pm

It's perfectly all right for someone to recline their seat. They are made to recline because it's bad for you to remain in one position for a long flight.
I certainly don't get upset when the people in front of me recline their seats.

Thank you for sharing this story. Although my son does not have autism, he too has sensory issues and so often when people see my son becoming overwhelmed or acting out, they attribute this to bad parenting or my not being strict enough or him just being a "typical" 3 year old hyper boy and throwing a "tantrum" because he isn't getting his way.

"Thank you for not making me repeat those awful apologetic sentences that I so often say in public." Seriously? Way to go on your poor parenting skills. Lord knows we would not want someone to control their screaming kid.

Susan Wilson

1/9/2014 11:36:42 am

Too bad you don't read about the whole incident. No poor parenting skills shown by "mom". Its a thank you to a man with enough compassion to give his attention to a little girl on an airplane ride. Too many times people come under censure for having a kid act like a kid. Children cry and yell in public. Is it annoying? Yes. But by having a little compassion will help us to "endure" it. I was lucky. I had a "good" kid.... No crying or screaming in public, but I don't condemn people that have "unruly" kids. Why? Because I don't know their story. Next time you're bothered by a noisy kid, show some pity and compassion, even if its just to smile understandingly at the parent.

James Mom

1/9/2014 11:01:00 pm

"Because I don't know their story..." Amen! There is a story behind all of us. But Karma comes around, "Sarah" will find that out someday when she needs compassion from strangers and there is none to be found.

Brian Kieran

Nicely put Susan. I usually do one transatlantic flight each year, and there is often at least one family with a screaming child. If I have the opportunity, I will give them a "Hang in there" and wish them the best.

Janette

1/9/2014 07:25:22 pm

Perhaps before presuming to judge another's parenting skills, one should walk a day or two in the shoes of a parent of a child with Autism? There are many kinds and ranges of severity, and sadly parenting skills have NO bearing when dealing with an Autistic child who has simply reached their limit.

This is a beautiful story about a stranger with the patience of a saint. It is not an open forum for people such as yourself to judge parenting skills and slag off at a mother who so obviously has had to apologise for her daughter too many times. NO parent should have to do that, but it is because of judgmental, impatient people such as yourself that parents of children with special needs feel they have to.

Shame on you

Angela

1/13/2014 06:56:45 pm

I fully unerstand what you are going through I am a student assistant and work with kids with Autism every day and love them all and some days can be rough but they are special people and getting them out in the public helps the public deal with them and they get used to them more and have a better understanding of what it is like for you as a parent. I know one of my students is in the public all the time and the public is used to him now and know a little about how he is. I wish you all the best. Your story is a great one and I would have done the same as your daddy in that seat. Have a good day.

Sheila

1/14/2014 02:31:10 pm

Thank you, Janette. I hate it when I see people apologizing for what they cannot control and what their child cannot control. Kids are kids. Period. This means that life around kids is often noisy, chaotic and a little out of control. This does not mean that if a child is not perfect in every way (like Mary Poppins), that the parent is "doing it wrong". Yes, there are parents out there that don't have a handle on the behavior of their child/children, and even some who don't give a flying flip about what their child/children are doing, but showing kindness to a child (and that child's parent) is never the wrong thing to do and if more people were like "Daddy" the world could only be a better place. I have worked with and around children since I was eleven years old and I have yet to see patience and kindness fail to bridge a gap. I don't understand when such negative comments have to be added to such positive stories. Which is why I seldom read the comments section and hardly ever comment myself.

1/9/2014 09:27:51 pm

If you think this mother was a bad parent lets revisit the story. One she brought many toys to make this trip work for her special needs child. Two she defined the boundaries for her daughter between his and hers and others (tough to do for some special needs kids). And three she had the patience to ride out the storm. As someone who has raised others special needs kids for twenty years these are not always easy. This woman is trying hard to give her daughter a full life and if you think it is "bad" parenting to let your child try the hard things I feel for your kids. I have sat in Burger King and spent hours and hours trip after trip teaching a child to conquer the overwhelming world of being out in the community as we call the world. And i have had people like you judge my skills and methods and yes many trips ended in failure but the day he went to a sit down restaurant sat through a three course meal and sat patiently while we paid... yes he won... now he can go out and enjoy dinner with his parent or his other friends or staff but "good" parenting lets a child learn and learn this little one will and the day will come when she flies like a pro. So to the hater above it is not bad parenting it is learning and it comes with time as some of these kids with needs are on the long term plan for learning and the day they win it means all the more to all their teachers, their parents biological, foster or house, and to those who love them.

1/9/2014 09:53:46 pm

If you do not read the article please do not comment upon it. There was almost no screaming till the end of e flight. This is an autistic child. No screaming till the end is a small miracle. There were not poor parenting skills just end of patience for a child. This was a story about a wonderful person behaving wonderfully. Kudos to him and I hope for all the world he gets to read this or otherwise hear how his actions made all the difference on this flight.

Sarah

ERIC: You are a Blessing to this world! I am a older mother of an 11yo and flew with her as a toddler many times across country. My daughter is a normal active child and I had people tell me that I needed to control her when she was just talking about the excitement that she was experiencing. Thank You for being such a special man that just gave of himself to help another and spread a little joy along the way. May you be blessed beyond your wildest dreams as you are truly what a GREAT dad is! Love, Kindness, patience and caring is what any child needs and you showed Kate that selflessly! Your a true man for which I am truly blessed to have read about and see love in action! God Bless you, Eric! You are Priceless!

what a lovely story. Yes it is hard bringing up any child in this society but to have a complete stranger relax into the Daddy roll of a special person well done. I bet mum feels a million dollars after this flight and you as well Eric.

Eric, I saw you on the news last night...you are a very special person and you make me smile. I am the parent of a child with ADD and when she was little, she cried on airplanes because you had to sit for long periods of time and at that point 15 minutes was about all she could manage without getting up and walking in the aisle....we must have made 10 trips up and down the aisle in a 2 or 3 hour trip...God bless you for your patience and good heart

Tammy

1/10/2014 01:59:41 am

Sarah, you are clueless. As parents of children on the autism spectrum, we strive 24/7 to "control our screaming kid". We create visuals, social stories, scripting, modeling, visual schedules, bring favorite toys....lots of things I doubt you're aware of by your comment. When children with autism are upset, it is mostly that they cannot process the situation and feel unsafe and even are in physical pain. They are not having "temper tantrums". How would you like it if you had a headache and weren't feeling well and someone had no consideration for you? Parents apologize because they know that is is usually stressful for people around them and they are sorry. But you know what? No one signed up to give birth to any child with a disability. We make the best of it. And we love our children more than life itself. And as far as "parenting skills" go, any parent of a child with autism can tell you it is NOT at all like parenting a "typical" child. I feel sorry for you. And as a teacher and a parent who lives life with people with autism around me 24/7, I long ago stopped apologizing for my children. There's no need.

I followed a link to this off FB so I had no idea Kate was autistic. Nothing in the blog made me think she was anything other than a non-autistic child. Sometimes they have all had enough. No matter how well behaved they are.

I hope this man reads this some day. I am willing to bet he doesn't think he did anything special.

Becky

1/10/2014 01:58:54 pm

I agree. I was thinking of my husband who travels for business a great deal and who might have looked similarly professional as he boarded the plane. We have three children and he is a warm and loving father, and friendly and inviting to those he meets. I kept picturing him in the role as I read the story. I know he would have behaved the same, and that makes me really proud. We should all have such kindness. I love when people touch each others' lives. Life is just a series of experiences. Amen for a positive experience to add to the plus pile. :-)

shireen

1/10/2014 08:06:46 am

Wow, you must have been a perfect robot of a child, yes some parents do not have any control unruly children, but guess what, you have to make allowances, curiosity is good for kids, and kids will be kids, but parents should not have always apologies for that,specially when it seems the child has not behaved badly. This is not even taking into account that this child has special needs

Lisa Ann

1/10/2014 08:25:05 am

Sarah, you obviously don't have children and most certainly not children with special needs. Your comments (and behavior) don't reflect well on your parents. Obviously they didn't teach you kindness or compassion.

Your ignorance towards developmentally challenged children is revolting. If you are going to congratulate anyone on poor parenting skills you should call your mother and father for not making sure you had the basic knowledge of life and the differences that make us all unique. I pity you for never having the joy of being in the company of a special little girl like Kate, but then again you don't deserve that gift.

Bill Brennan link

Alyson

1/10/2014 11:20:30 am

Sarah- obviously you fail to realize that Katie is autistic. The man on the plane, most likely realized how special Katie was instantaneously. I believe you owe the blogger a sincere apology. More importantly, know your facts before making harsh accusations.

Sandie Becker

1/10/2014 11:49:11 am

I think it is important for Sarah and everyone else to realize that it doesn't matter if Kate was autistic or not. Children cannot always be "controlled"! Especially on a flight. Even if she was Neuro Typical, chances are she would have become antsy and crying toward the end of the flight! Sarah should think before she posts on things she obviously knows nothing about!

Nanci Nedweski

1/10/2014 10:56:56 pm

Exactly Sandie! I had reason to take a flight with 2 small children - both just shy of being 1 and 3 - from Chicago to Dallas. That was close to 30 years ago, but I will never forget that flight. My son (10 mos. old) was having a difficult time with the pressure in his ears, drinking a bottle the entire trip was not an option, nor was sucking on a pacifier, so - he cried - a lot. My daughter (just over 2 1/2 yrs old) at first thought it was a fun ride, but was done with it after being in the air for about 15 minutes, then wanted to get off the "ride". I was not in the best emotional state at the time and was doing the best I could to keep my children calm and quiet as I could - but was unsuccessful most of the time. Several people let me know how displeased they were that we were on that flight, my apologies were falling on deaf ears. An angel came over to us, stopped, petted my daughter's hair and said to me "Don't worry dear, you'll be done with this flight soon enough and then the world will be a better place for all of you. No more apologies are necessary. Deep breaths." Smiled, handed my daughter a magazine and went back to her seat.

The person that said you don't know their story nailed it! EVERYONE has a story - some wonderful ones, and some that would make a grown man cry. Everyone deserves a break from judgement, as difficult as it may be sometimes. The angels that swoop down for moments of time truly are a Godsend and help to erase the nastiness of the unsympathetic others.

Thank you Grace for sharing your story ... and thank you Eric for being the angel that made the flight an exceptional one!

And I'm going out on a limb here and say that you are one of those people who should just walk on by and not sit next to a person with a child...I hope we never have to see an example of your parenting skills, because from your attitude, it is going to be grim.

Jess

1/13/2014 08:24:51 am

You obviously didn't understand this story if that's what you took from it, and if that's all you took from it. You also must not know anyone personally who has autism, or know anything about it in general. Do you even have children? They're all different. My son never had a single temper tantrum or cried for any reason besides being hurt. My middle daughter, who is two, flips out all the time. My youngest is still an infant, so time will tell.

Sorry for your loss Sarah. You must miss your conscience. Hopefully, your Soul will embark on a similar path to reunite with it. Unless you are able to empathize, you cannot fully embrace the delicate and most fragile part of Life. Embrace all children, no matter what. They are the angels we are responsible for. Not just yours, but all.

Amelie

1/14/2014 06:33:48 pm

Dear Sarah - 'seriously?' I mean, SERIOUSLY??? 'Way to go' yourself on your (equally way misjudged) concept of the entirety of the concept of 'parenting skills'.

Lord knows we would not want someone who thought the word 'control' - as opposed to raise with that simple but spot on mantra of 'absolute love, absolute boundaries' - had a place in their own parenting 'skills'.

Likewise, 'Lord knows' Dear Sarah, God forbid that someone who DID believe 'control' - as opposed to the VAST but effective array of hard work (and pretty challenging, but hey THAT'S part of parenting Dear Sarah) but effective methods that decent parents learn and possess of how to manage their child's behaviour as they grow - was an appropriate term to use was or ever became a 'Mother' themselves.

Oh, one last thing Dear Sarah. Lord knows WE WOULD want some means that allows us grown-up's to be able to 'control' the pretty vile other 'grown-ups' who DO use the terms 'control' and 'screaming kid.

Especially with regards to a 'kid' with Special Needs and clearly a VERY special Mamma.

Annette

1/14/2014 10:33:18 pm

Sarah, I don't believe you understood her sentence. As the mother of a boy with autism, you often have to say, please excuse my child, he has autism. Their behavior whether crying, repeating, walking differently, using a loud tone of voice, or screaming is often not able to be controled. You get terrible looks no matter what you do. If you don't believe me, please go volunteer at a special olympics event or at an autism event and see what it is to walk in someone else's shoes. Her comment about "those awful apologetic sentences" are the ones that bring us to tears every day. Acceptance and patience are a beautiful gift.

Carrie

1/15/2014 01:49:50 am

Sarah, sometimes "control" is not a word that can be used when describing a parenting technique. "Redirecting" might be better. Any child, not just a child with special needs, can at any time be over-active, loud or generally disruptive. As parents, we try to lessen the disturbance to the people around us. Apparently your parents did not do the best job in "controlling" you or you would not pass such quick judgement on anyone elses parenting.

Leanna

1/15/2014 05:11:52 am

My hope is "Sarah", that you don'y have children. At least until you learn some compassion and patience.

After being in relationship with him for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that never believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I mailed the spell caster, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email: drehijelespellhome@gmail.com you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or anything. CAN NEVER STOP TALKING ABOUT YOU SIR HIS EMAIL

It is obvious to me that you are a very immature person who has never truly stepped back in lift to see the reality of things and not just the ideal of things. I am not sure if you are a parent yet but I would venture to say that you are a person who isn't and doesn't want to be because of your own special reasons and that is because you are self centered and not for the reasons you make up to every one else. Thank God you don't have children because you would be that parent that I would look at and say OK her children are to quiet and scared, there is something wrong there.
BACK OFF SARAH, not every screaming child belongs to parents with poor parenting skills, they are real parents that don't threaten their children with in inches of their lives if they make a bad move. Take it from someone who had parents like that. When dealing with a child that has a coping disablement you cannot reason with them and you can't even beg them. It is a matter of trying to help them through their fear.
Sarah, I pray that the Good Lord gives you some insight as to how we should all operate here and that is will love and kindness. It isn't always possible but I pray that people have more mercy on you than you displayed here.

Danielle

1/21/2014 05:24:10 pm

Sarah, to tell you how I feel about you would require breaking multiple censors and being flagged.

My mother has often had trouble controlling my meltdowns. She's apologized with those same sentences. And while most people understand that autism is not something ANYONE can control, certain freaks like you just never understand.

I'm 28 with an IQ over 170, but I can't function properly without my relaxation exercises and certain security items. And if someone takes them or accuses me of being antisocial, guess what?

I SCREAM. Very LOUDLY. And it's because of a sense of confusion and fear, even anger, that someone would want to hurt me by taking away what makes me safe.

If you tried saying that to my mother, I'd deck you. She and all other parents of autistic children deserve respect, not derision. Take your calumny and stuff it in your duodenum, you pre-human parasite.

same problem too that she found on a television program. i emailed the spell caster and I told him my problemand I did what he asked me to briefly make. to cut the long story short,Before I knew what was happening,not up to 48 hours,my boyfriend gave me a call and he come back to me and told me he was sorry about what has happened, I'm so grateful to this spell caster and will not stop publishing his name on the internet just for the good work he has been doing.If you need his help,he can cast spells like If you want your ex back, you need a divorce in your relationship You want to be promoted in your office,You want women & men to run after you,If you want a child,You want to be rich,You want to tie your husband wife to be yours forever,If you need financial assistance,you can email him at

My son is developmentally disabled and when someone takes a moment to be nice to him, it makes him so happy. Instead of being constantly shushed and told to sit still, quit asking so many questions, don't touch, lower your voice, it would be wonderful to have someone acknowledge him rather than make him feel that he is a bother. When someone is kind to my child it makes my heart swell with gratitude. Your friend is a very special person and the world sure could use more kind people like him.

I often fly alone with my now nine year old autistic son. We've had good flights so good flights, and bad flights. It is truly a blessing to be on a flight an Sutton next to someone who actually seems to enjoy your child and doesn't treat them like a burden or a bother. On our last flight my precious boy had th guy in th seat in front of him turning around to have a conversation with him. As we were exiting th plane I heard him laugh and say to th guy next to him how impressed he had been by my son and that he'd never heard such a big vocabulary from such a little person. It made our flight so much better that he wasn't annoyed by my baby's endless questions an observations but rather seemed to enjoy them. Coming across people like these gentlemen make bein a parent (especially of a high nee child a lot less tasking during what is usually a highly stressful situation. I am so glad for you an your daughter you go to have that experience because I know first Han it's all too often exactly th opposite.

That is so sweet. When my husband traveled to Florida every week for a year and a half he would often come home and tell me stories of the cutest kids on the plane. We have four and our oldest is now in College, but I remember the days of melt downs. Our third daughter has major sensory issues and I can relate. She is now 14 and doing great. Have you ever heard of SIRRI (Sensory Integration Research and Rehabilitation Institute). Here is a link http://www.sirri.com
This was a wonderful program for our daughter, no miracle cures but it made an incredible difference in our lives.

I once had a young girl with Down's Syndrome sit next to me on a plane. It was obvious Mom was exhausted and overwhelmed traveling alone with 3 children. The little girl asked me all kinds of questions, held my hand, and smiled at me whenever I turned her way. She put her snacks on my tray. Her mom kept apologizing but I realized how good this lesson was for me -- that it was ok to slow down my life for 90 minutes and be reminded that simple, basic things in life are so important. A touch, a smile, and a chocolate chip cookie.

My boyfriend and I broke up almost two week ago after being together for 4 year and 2 months. I am having a really hard time and feel like I'm getting depressed. We have talked everyday since breaking up and said we'll be friends. But I can't stop thinking about him and every memory we have together. When we talk to each other still in person it's like nothing has changed except the fact that I can't kiss him or touch him. It's hard cause my mom and his mom think we'll get back together and say it's just a break not a break up. We broke up because he was unhappy because when we would argue I would get mean and call him a jerk or a jackass, I'm extremely shy around his family and his mom said I've never thanked them. I feel so bad for doing those things and I told him that I can change that. I will never call him names, and I can become more talkative around his family and I will apologize to his mother. I talked to his mother yesterday and apologized to her and she wasn't even mad. How do I get him back.i ask my self i open up to my friends one of them told me she have somthing for me i ask what is that she said when we get she will tell me i said well no problem.when we got home she told me of a man named dr.abudu she is a very strong man i never believe her because she is funned of jokes.but night i was think of what she told me about the i said well let me give him a try i contacted him and i told him all my problem he just say to me not to worry that my problem is solve i said just like that he yes i was like thating him he later told me what to do which i did and today am happy again and we are married. does of you out there you to can contact him on email;dr.abuduspellcaster@gmail.com

As a mom of 3 typically developing kids who are now almost grown, I actually LIKE sitting next to kids on planes. I took a 12 hour flight with 3 kids who were within 3 years in age more than once, and I remember the exhaustion and the nasty stares when children behave like children. (I do think that parents should do whatever they can to keep their kids calm on a flight, but depending on the kid, the length of the flight and other circumstances, often that just is not going to happen.) Rather than try to sleep or work, it's better to give yourself over to the moment, whether that means talking to the child or just giving the mom a smile rather than a glare.

I am taking another long flight in a couple of days and I bought a bulkhead seat, so I will probably have a baby next to me. I'm glad I saw this now, so that I can remember to enjoy the opportunity to make funny faces at my seatmate, rather than being annoyed that I can't watch my movie.

Absolutely! Parents, do be afraid to explain your child or children have special circumstances such as asd or the like, or even that they're on the last leg of a 18-hour trip. A little explanation can earn a lot of understanding.

I admit, I'm one of those who periodically gives "dirty looks"--but in my defense, I save them for the parents who do *nothing* to attend to their child. And I mean nothing. I may not have kids myself, but my Mom was a 4th grade teacher for 20 years. Sometimes, kids are just going to have a meltdown and there is absolutely nothing you can do, regardless of any problems they might or might not have. As long as the parent is trying, you'll get a sympathetic smile.

And on a side note....

If not evey adult immediately jumps in and interacts with your autistic child, but at least tries to be polite but just isn't up to a whole plane flight-long session of interacting with your child, I just ask you to remember this:

Adults are autistic, too, and we still get sensory overload.
It's not really less grating and/or even painful, we've just learned to handle it a bit better.

So forgive me if I'm next to your child, and try to limit conversations a bit. I'lll be polite, but things get to me, too. If you need help, ask. I'll help. But please forgive me if, after a good 20-30 minutes of conversation, I say, "I'm sorry, but I really would like to read my book now. Can we talk again a little later?"

I try--I really do. But sometimes ASD adults can be just as easily overloaded as ASD kids.

Loved this blog! A few years ago I was traveling for business. I was headed home to upstate NY from California. When we landed in O' Hara Airport in Chicago, 100's of flights had been cancelled. There were tornado's setting off all around the airport, you could see them out the windows. There was a young pregnant woman with two little ones under the age of 4 with her. One walking, one in a stroller. She was due to have her baby any day. She had been on my flight from Cali to Chicago, and I quickly found out she was headed to Albany NY (same flight as mine) to give birth with her mother because her husband had been sent over seas for military duty. The airport was SOOOOOOOO crowded, they kept sending us from one gate to another. I stayed with her...helping her with her oldest child, holding on to the little girls hand. Finally at one point, I knew we were going to get separated. She had an utter look of panic on her face. I looked her in the eye and told her I was a mother of 4, that I would not steal her daughter, and that she had to trust me. I gave her my cell phone number, home number and my lap top placing it on the top of her carriage. I told her to trust me and I would meet her at our next gate. Which I did, when she got there I was sitting with her daughter eating ice cream (a treat I bought her). I then asked to switch seats and sit with her and the kids to help as they were all frazzled at this point. And we flew to Albany together. She thanked me over and over and I wished her good luck. To this day I often wonder how she and the children are doing? And if her husband made it home from Afghanistan safely.

I believe my son has Asperger and soooooo get those moments. We can have the PERFECT DAY, HE CAN BE THE PERFECT SON, I THE PERFECT MOTHER and something never quiet sure what but his mind just doesn't understand and they just have a meltdown.I too have made excuses to people cause I always think they think its something I can control.
Even though it was not us on the plane I would hug that man and cry . He and your daughter are a gift from GOD and I'm soooo GLAD he picked him to sit next to your BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER!!!!!!

I am a mother of five and someone like you can change a child's life. Bringing happiness to this mother and child was such an awesome deed. It is always stressful to fly with small children when you are flying with that children alone because daddy is at work or is just not present at all. You filled a spot in a child heart that makes you a very special man, one that would put family before work

I was directed to your blog through a FaceBook link. I read with tears in my eyes remembering how strangers (and friends) would react and give their "parental advice" when my oldest (now 32) was young. Though not autism, his diagnosis was/is sociopath, his behaviors in public were atrocious. In his case not the Charles Manson type severe, but of the nature where guilt and love are not feelings he will experience. I still remember his god-mother informing me that it was because I didn't read to him as a child. Though our stories are different, as parents, the pain we feel when our children struggle with what is not considered "the norm" is shared. Keep writing as your blog is a light to other parents.

I just found your blog. This is a great story.

My son is autistic and I know what you mean. One day, he started screaming in the middle of tae kwon do class, and EVERYONE in the room looked at me. Of course, I went to him and tried to calm him down. There is no telling what set him off. He does have quite a bit of language (he's 9) however, at those times, he can't always use it effectively. I found your facebook page and hope to follow your journey as I go about mine.

I came to the article from FB. At first I missed the autism aspect. I note the author didn't announce it. I caught it in the comments. The story touched an amazed me thinking it referred to a developmentally "normal" child. The added aspect made it even more touching. I've flown a lot for business, often over night. Flying isn't designed to be a pleasant/reasonable experience. We're cattle. We should all do whatever we can to help parents get through the experience. From what I've seen, it's rarely a matter of parenting skills. It's a matter of human beings who are not yet old enough to contain what most of us are feeling.
Way to go Eric! Team Kate, thanks for sharing.

I am in tears right now, how incredible this man was to engage with your daughter, and also respect you as her mother...and how amazing it was for you to take the time to write him a letter of thanks. As I sat here wiping my tears I thought of an idea. Wouldn't it be great to carry around a small business card that says thank you on it on one side, and on the other side a small snippet to educate people about Autism. You could even give this to individuals who are not pleasant as a way of possibility educating them and perhaps next time they will be kind. Kate is blessed with a supportive community, and mother. Shall each of you be blessed.

I have been a foster parent for 28 years and in those 28 years I have had 3 different autistic children in my care and have never been without one, we just received our 30th child before Christmas. I know the feelings of a parent when people look at them and think or say negative things, every child just wants to be accepted and loved and know someone cares. 3 more years and my autistic son will go to college and we will (?) retire. My husband and I have 3 grown daughters. One time we were at an event with our motorhome and were without our own children as they were in thier late teens and out with friends, we came home with 5 children 10 and under, thier parents picked them up later. People tease and call us kid magnets. Kids are better people readers than many adults.

So nice to have people who can help on planes. When I flew to Hawaii with my 4 month old I had people come up to me b4 boarding who said if I needed help just find them. I needed to go to the rest room and First time ask flight attendent to hold him. Second time the 2 girls in from of me offered. They had him for about 2 hours just playing with him till he needed feed and changed. Then they asked for him back. (He was not a sleeper). Even the guy next to me offered (and did) hold him while I got his bottle ready. Love it when people will help with kids on planes. Sometimes just to keep them busy..

I recently had a plane trip where a young pregnant Mon say next to a "stranger dad" with her 10 is month old son. Child was not too happy to be restraint in his seat.I watch rhithis gentleman engage w the child until he fell to sleep but the best part was when the son awoke during our landing stage and the gentleman took the child from the mom so he could look out the window to see the activity until landing. Totally kept this little man happy and engaged to give the mom a break. Least that I mention we were delayed an hour before take off after a canceled flight the night before. We were all exhausted but this little boy, with the help of this gentleman made me smile and appreciate the human kindness for a mom who did not kno this man. Warmed my heart!!

Jen

1/15/2014 04:37:11 pm

Grant, I want you and the other dads to know that this was my response as well. I don't know why everyone is so surprised that a dad would be nice to a kid. I would have done the same thing, but I think people expect it more from a mom, as though dads don't care about children or men can't have compassion or adults don't want to play with turtles. (It sounded like not just turtles, but NINJA Turtles. Who wouldn't want to play with TMNT toys?) What Eric did was great, and I would feel the same gratitude Kate's mom felt if it were my kid, but it surprises me that so many people think being kind to a child is such a rare and impressive feat. Let's not overlook all the millions of dads (and non-dads) who care.

Found this post from a FB link and didn't realized that your daughter was autistic until reading through the comments. What a blessing to read about "Daddy"! I had the opportunity to fly once with my kids (ages young 2&4). After hauling them, their car seats and our carry on bags through the airport and getting them settled on the plane, the person in the row behind us arrived, sat down and loudly commented "I hope they stay quiet, I wanted to sleep". I did my best but my son had problems with the pressure in his ears despite all interventions and cried through half the flight. The lack of goodwill from this one lady seemed to spread all around me as the flight continued. By the end of the flight we were all miserable. Kudos and blessings to Eric - not only did he impact this mom and her daughter, but his attitude probably spread to those around him as well.

I'm so glad that Eric has had the opportunity to know how meaningful his act of kindness was to Kate and her mom. My children are typical, and for the most part, well-behaved, but I absolutely loathe going out into the world with the Judgersons who think that because they are not tiny 40 year-olds, that they should not be permitted any public place that is not "appropriate" for them. You know, like a restaurant of any kind, a shopping mall, the grocery store, or any public transportation system.

My own cherished memory of a compassionate dad was in the DVD aisle of a Target store. I don't recall exactly what it was that sent my three-year old son over the edge that day, but he was in the midst of a doozy when this man stormed aroud the corner, looking ominous. I thought, "Oh, boy. Here we go..." He walked right up to us, looked down at my son squirming on the floor, and said, "Oh, sorry to bother you -- thought it was mine. Guess today isn't my day for it. Carry on." With a cheery wave, he went on his way. This had the miraculous effect of making my son forget he was having a tantrum and gape after him. God bless you, random dad. If it was a strategem, it was freakin' genius.

So glad there are people like this in the world. I have a 4 year old daughter that has behavioral issues and I am due to fly with her and my 8 year old on a 6 hour night flight. I'm always worried about how she will behave cause you just never know. I too find myself apologizing for her behavior. I hate the way people state at you when she is having a breakdown in the store, which I think she has OCD as well so breakdowns over little things. Keep up the great parenting to you special and wonderful little girl.

A wonderful story. Remember this: people are LUCKY if they get to talk with your daughter

Our daughter (age 3) is deaf, and as a result, she will occasionally get a bit loud. Although some people will keep their distance from her, the majority of people are very nice, friendly and engaging. I've offered more than a few "awful apologetic sentences" to strangers, but they are usually unnecessary.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful story.

Have none of you ever been somewhere, exhausted, cranky and just plain worn out? And a screaming child is just one more needle in your brain? I can totally understand Sarah's comment about wishing more parents would remove or control their screaming or unruly child. This wasn't the case here, it was a totally different situation, and perhaps Sarah didn't see the big picture, but the outpouring of nastiness towards her wasn't at all kind, and Eric's comment was pleasant, succinct and corrective. The seriously unkind words to Sarah do a disservice to Eric's kindness. Gentle and understanding as Eric was with Kate, that was an example to follow. Maybe less condemnation towards people who don't understand, would honor Eric's good deed. I have two kids, one 21 and one 12. There have been a few times when either of my children was small and they had meltdowns, I (and those around me) were lucky that not only did I have the ability to remove my kids, but I had the respect for others to KNOW to do so. I don't see that you could do much removing on a plane, and I think we all understand that. But feeling irritated about a screaming child doesn't make you a bad person. It just makes you human. I say, good on you Eric, and the rest of us? Leave off the gang mentality shaming of Sarah. It doesn't make anyone look good in one breath being unkind to one person, while praising the kindness of another.

Julia, thank you for articulating what I've been trying to find a way to write down. I have been both the kindly, helpful, fellow passenger...as well as the one who was "exhausted, cranky and just plain worn out". As many people here have said, everyone has a story. "The seriously unkind words to Sarah do a disservice to Eric's kindness." We're all human, we should all strive to be kind.

As the mother of an Austistic son, that was not always well received when he was small, I had tears in my eyes reading this. What a wonderful extra ordinary human being that man was. God truly put him in that seat. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful story. Too often we only hear about people that have the opposite reaction to children with "special needs."

Cade

1/14/2014 05:04:03 am

I understand what you're saying. I think the easiest thing to do is to remember that the kids have it worse off than you do. Most children don't start screaming for no reason. I know that anyone screaming can be irritating, but it is important to remember that a smile will make their day more than a frown or a nasty comment.

My faith in humanity is restored when reading stories like this. I have often had to make transatlantic flights with 3 young kids on my own. You could argue that it is not necessary to drag kids along, but for me it is so that they can have interaction and a relationship with my family. They are normally very good little travelers, which makes traveling easier, but they are kids - not robots. I recall very well on one of the flights.where I did not get the seats I had asked to be assigned for us, but instead was placed with the three in the middle and my 5 year old son had to sit in the aisle seat across from me. He had a 20-something lady sitting next to him. To begin with she was fine, until she wanted to sleep. My 5 year old boy had curled up in his seat and had fallen asleep. During the night, he probably turned in his seat and ended up kicking the lady next to him - who abruptly sat up and screamed very loudly at this sleeping little boy to stop kicking her!! He was asleep and woken up by another adult screaming at him!! His hurt and confused little face looked at me with wide questioning eyes saying "Mamma, what did I do?" It was awful!!

One could argue that this lady was somewhat within her right - she had after all paid for her ticket and probably wanted to get some un-interrupted sleep without having a 5 year old next to her. But, surely she should have addressed this with the airline and not with our boy. Or she could have address me, another adult and his mother..

I understand that it can be hard to be a fellow passenger with "difficult" children in the nearby vicinity, but surely getting angry or making comments about parenting is not going to help. It certainly will not calm the child making the parent even more stressed, and trust me - if a child is screaming on an airplane, the parents are stressed out enough already!!

My boy is now 8 and he still panics if he has to sit next to a stranger on a plane ride. That lady left an emotional scar on our little boy, that I only hope time will heal..

1/14/2014 09:16:31 pm

Cathrine - I am so so sorry for your little boy. That awful woman had no right to scream at him, or frankly even be upset. Planes are tiny and it is next to impossible to keep from touching the person next to you. I hope she regrets her actions.

Lynda

1/13/2014 04:40:08 am

Dear Kate's Mom,

This story warms my heart because the Daddy in 16C (was not) but very well could have been my husband. You see, he is on a plane every week and he primarily flies cross country. Having and traveled with three daughters of his own, he knows how hard it is. He smiles and is happy if he gets the seat next to the baby or the toddler or if it's a Southwest flight, he will be the first to sit next to small kids. He knows how hard it is on parents, especially those traveling alone and he also knows how quickly they grow up. :)

Your kid sure doesn't autistic. I read your "diagnosis" post. As an outsider, it sounds more like you're a neurotic parent projecting your own issues--like not being able to bond with her child--onto her.

Autism is the diagnosis du jour, isn't it?

Mary

1/13/2014 05:53:23 am

As an outsider, you have no way of knowing what her child is truly like. Do you work in the field? As someone who does, I can tell you those diagnoses do not get handed out lightly. Autism Spectrum Disorder is labeled as such for a reason. It's a spectrum; a wide variety of different cases and people, all unique in their own behaviors. As an outsider, I see many behaviors of her daughter that would signal ASD. If you don't understand something, just ask questions. Calling the mother of a child with autism neurotic (or anyone for that matter) benefits no one.

Michelle

1/13/2014 10:23:59 am

I beg you pardon? I assume you consider yourself healthy of mind? Perhaps you need a check-up, Ashley. You might suffer from a disorder called BAR (being awfully rude). Don't judge what you don't know.

I have a 23yr old daughter with Asperger's and I totally understand. We appreciate the kindness and consideration of strangers who soon become friends usually. I also teach manners, and respect for both of my children. That includes apologizing for disturbances of others and hoping that they will be understand, knowing the circumstances better. And in the cause like Eric, they are amazing! Autistic children learn by watching and observing since socially they lack the natural skills of most humans. This makes manners and respect even more important. Both my daughters thank me often for having taught them well. The skills they have learned help socially and economically in a people oriented society.

Every person starts out as a child, and every single one of us has "issues" that our parents had to handle/deal with/excuse/attempt to control with limited success - regardless of parenting technique and amount of effort.

Thank you for sharing this story. Describing your daughter as autistic only shed a light on what her bundle of issues might be. Her ability to reach out and share her joy with a random-yet-amazing person who had the opportunity to sit next to her,well what a gift she gave him. What a gift you gave us.
Glad I found your blog!

1/13/2014 08:13:05 am

It's so amazing when people engage rather than judge. I agree, he must have smiled all day thinking about the super awesome kid he got to hang out with on his plane ride!

One of the coolest things I've gotten to do in my life is work with kids with Autism doing neuroimaging research. I don't do that work anymore but I learned a lot of things from the kids and always thought one of those projects I worked on explained high-functioning autism pretty well. The gist: kids with Asperger's and kids without Asperger's solved simple math problems and got the same scores. Despite the fact that they got the same answers, their brains "lit up" differently. The kids with Asperger's still got to the right answer, they just took a different path to get there. Of course all kids are different, and it doesn't mean that the alternate path can't be more difficult, but in so many ways it can be about giving them the skills necessary to navigate a world that isn't set up in the best way for them.

My little cousin is a great example. The public school system failed him miserably, he was a bright little boy prone to horrific tantrums that landed him in the principle's office. Of course that didn't help. After taking him out of public school and enrolling him in a private school for kids that needed a little extra attention, he's now in college. If you met him, you might or might not see that he communicates a little differently (he has Asperger's) but you would definitely know that he's got interesting stuff to say. He's learning to program in Python right now. He didn't take the typical path, but he got there with a lot of hard work and the help of a really awesome single parent and twin sister. It's absolutely not my intent to try and oversimplify an issue that is complex on so many levels for parents that live and worry and work to make it better everyday, but sometimes it's nice to remember they're just kids...loving, unique, complex, with tons of interests...who happen to get there another way.

Apologies for the ramble, you touched on a subject that is near and dear to my heart!

Growing up with a partially abled sister, who is now late 40s and continues to gain that attention, I know the feeling, all too well. Those who show that special patience, are few and far between. Now, having two grown children; your story makes me recall the days of international travel (with or without my husband), when passengers would give us the 'crazy eye' then avoid us the entire flight. Once our 10+ hour flights would land, THAT is when they would compliment our 1 and 3 yr old for being such quiet, well behaved travelers and offer a helping hand. If I was alone, jet lagged with two sleeping babies in my arms and bags in tow (at midnight), I would graciously smile and decline. At times saying, "No thank you, I actually could have used your hands as we were boarding". Hopefully, one day 'compassion' will be a 'common courtesy'.

Big hugs to Kate and your family. I hope that one day, we are able to be graced with a seat next to Kate. Until then, I promise to continue to pay it forward with hopes that it is returned to you.

I read your story with a smile and tears. It's a strange world, where people like Eric seem to be of a very special kind. I wish more people were like that. Stories like this are like sunshine after a rainy day. I'm very happy for you, Kate and Eric you had such a wonderful flight together.
Special needs make you see the world through completely different glasses. Help and kindness come from those who you'd least expect from and rough words and behaviour come from people you thought would be nice to you. I'm in a wheelchair for ten years now and it was life changing. Mostly because of how people react at me. Rudeness can still kick me down, but it's the surprising acts of kindness that can make a day unforgettable.
I bet you'll never forget this flight and every time you'll remember, it will put a smile on your face.

Love, Michelle

PS: Kate looks like a real cutie pie! Much love to her!

What a beautiful and memorable experience for mom and child! As a mom to a special needs child, I often get tired of offering excuses and the same explanation to total strangers.

As a 26 year old "aspie," I'm floored by people's kindness as well as their tendency to be inconsiderate and rude. In my experience, all I wanted was someone to share my "quirks" and interests with. Some people called me weird, crazy, nerdy, and even creepy. However, the moment someone took interest in me and my interests, it made my world. I can tell you from experience that that one simple interaction is something Kate will remember and hold on to as a reminder that people are generally good and good natured, but the extraordinary ones will take a step out and meet you on your level. And that is what it's all about.

1/13/2014 11:25:15 pm

Certainly a wonderful story. Your child appears to have strong verbal and social skills, relatively speaking. I feel lucky that my 4 year old son is pretty verbal, but conversations like your daughter had with "daddy" are still pretty much impossible. For many children on the spectrum, any form of verbal communication is not an option.
Anyway, I'd just like to remind everyone that children who cannot carry on conversations like this one need and deserve your patience and kindness just as much as Kate.

I normally display the emotion of a brick. This made me tear up. God bless you, Kate, and seat 16c guy...

I'm sure if you ask the airlines to pass the letter on, they will. To daddy in 16c

I actually cried reading this, with so much bad news happening around us, more human interest stories like this need to make the new to restore faith in humanity. God Bless!

My cousin is autistic. I was always very patient with him. My aunt would say, "you don't have to talk with him so long... we know you are being nice." Honestly, I enjoyed talking with him. His views were honest/fun/different. Your story made me smile and kinda tear up.

Thanks for making my eyes sweat at work, gah.. :) Awesome story. I have two boys 2 and 6, and I definitely understand how the looks other people give our children (when they're simply being children) cuts like a knife. We recently had a man at a restaurant tell us on our way out to "next time get a sitter". My wife managed to keep me from asking him outside for a more in depth conversation, and I just shook my head. My children were only talking and laughing at a normal volume in a crowded restaurant - I guess it was the "no joking section". Stories like these restore my faith in humanity. The minute you lose your ability to relate to children, is the minute the child in you dies. Jesus rebuked his disciples for rebuking children during his sermons. Let them be little.

Thank you for sharing this. My husband and I also have a little girl with Autism and sensory issues and I can relate to how unpredictable all situations can be. This mans actions are commendable as well as yours. I look forward to following your blog.

I have an autistic sister and going in public with her you never know if you will get that "WHAT is she" glance or the "is she retarded" whispers. I hate that they call her retarded or ask me what is wrong with her. Nothing is wrong with her...shes perfect the way she was created. I am so happy that in this cruel world your family found a familiar face in Kate's mind to keep her calm in a situation that could have become bigger than anyone in seat 16C could imagine. Thank you 16C for being an amazing human being and not thinking twice about playing games or sharing conversation with a sweet girl like Kate.

What a sweet story. As a 24 year old man who tries to be something of a "tough guy", I rarely get emotional. This, however, almost made me tear up at my office. Bless this man, and Kate, who is a truly adorable little girl. Nice to still see some good news every once in a while. Prayers for this man and Kate, from Lexington, Kentucky.

Thank you so much for posting this! You don't know how much stress I've been having thinking about my upcoming family trip with my two boys, 4 and 2, coincidentally, to Orlando too. I only hope that there will be people like him sitting near us. My 4 y/o son has speech delay and likes to get people's attention, and he does go overboard more often than not. I'm so nervous about the whole trip, I've almost cancelled it 3 times now. Thanks for the inspiring story, I hope my trip goes as well as yours!!

A beautiful story about a beautiful child, her beautiful Mother, and a beautiful stranger! God has an incredible timetable; he knew what he was doing when he made out that flight's seating arrangement! May all of Kate's days be shared with other thoughtful people such as the "Daddy" in seat 16C!

I saw the article on Yahoo about your plane , and it warmed my heart; my best friend has a 15 yr old son who is autistic and I have had the privilege to help tutor him for a few months; we use a program provided by icando.org and he has made great strides! He just had his evaluation and they were extremely pleased with his progress. I remember the earlier years when my friend voiced frustration and not having any answers. So awesome that you had someone so understanding, by you!

This story is important because as a mom of a son with ASD I am often apologizing to people for my son's unique personality. He is an amazing little boy, but very different from other kids which often gets us looks when we are out. I love that this guy was so sweet to her. We do meet many kind people who can spot he has autism right away and go out of their way to answer his crazy questions or try to interact with him, but they are few and far between... Awesome story:)

It is lovely to hear stories like these. As a frequent traveler, I see the many and varied ways that people of all ages and maturity deal with the stresses of travel. Having the opportunity to interact with little angels is not one of them!

I am a little concerned that you "despise" the smile that says "I can't deal with anything right now, I'm scared to death of flying, I've just lost my job, I'm on my way to my father's funeral, etc.".

Its great when a stranger can exceed your expectations - it would be equally great if you could exceed theirs, no?

Dear Kate's mom,

reading your story was very emotional to me. i live in Belgium and am 19 years old now. when i was 8 years i had a 'strange' friend. but i never noticed it. He had also autism. i remember that taking a bus with him was really difficult. so i can imagine how it would feel for kate to be in a plane. your story made my day and remembered me how normal kids with autism are. you are a really brave mom! and you inspired me allot!

Way to go Mommy!
How wonderful of you to reciprocate his kindness with this wonderful, heart warming Thank You note.
Even if it doesn't reach him I know for fact it has touched many to think twice about shunning a child's sweet curiosity.
No crying child is a WIN WIN FOR ALL!

I have seen many adults behave badly on planes, too. They have no excuse! Children in general, do not do well on long flights. It is sad to see so called "adults" get angered at a child who is tired and bored. They expect them to act as adults...the complainers act worse than the children.
The next time you are on a plane or a train or in a restaurant and a child starts acting out....have some patience. Remember that they are children...they have their limits. Have a little compassion on the parent(s) and don't respond in anger, but understanding. This world would be a better place to live in.
I have a friend who has 3 autistic children. I noticed how my friend handled the children. She had so much patience.
I thank God for the parents of these special children. God bless the children.

Well, I cried for about 10 minutes straight. I only wish that everything I read in my lifetime was about moments like this. I guess I would like to think that most people would have been like the guy in 16C. Probably not the case though. I know that I would have been a 16C Daddy. I meant that. I appreciate the beauty of children. I just want to say "Way to go" 16C Daddy. Let's spread the concept around. The world would be better for it!

This was a beautiful and touching letter. People like this are very RARE in today's society filled with bullies and mean people. Very touching, indeed!

I talk about Autism, a lot
