Autism covers a huge spectrum with many different requirements depending upon the severity. My wife is a Speech Pathologist and currently works in a county-wide school district program with pre-school age kids, and she *specializes* in kids with autism. Her 30 second response is that there are techniques that can be used to help kids learn how to cope with the unique requirements of an airline lifestyle, but it really requires the help of a professional that can do an in-depth analysis of your child's condition, needs, responses, etc.
