Re: autistic teenager refused to board the plane. Father said he would no longer fly.
autistic father: the staff can deny your boarding
surging news: did your son return the ticket after your son's boarding was refused?
Mr. Cui: he has already returned the fare and compensated for the bus fare from Xuchang to Zhengzhou. It is not enough for us to ask for unconditional refund.
surging news: what do you think of your son's rejection?
Mr. Cui: I think the staff of the airline is responsible. First, in changing the boarding card, he did not communicate with the parents, did not ask my child what problems, nothing to ask, let me stand next to the next hour, I was very angry. Secondly, the attitude of the staff makes me very uncomfortable. The child has no ID card, I take the account book, he threw the account book to the desk and said, "you turn to the last page", he is the staff, this is his job, why should I turn? Finally, they did not have a doctor to prove that my child could not fly, and asked me to prove it. This proof should be issued by them.
surging news: have you ever had a similar situation before?
Mr. Cui: This is the first time. It used to be very tolerant, especially in the Guangdong region. Children have grown so large that they have never encountered such a situation before. This estimate is not enough publicity before, and it is not known to autistic children. Autism is very frightening.
surging news: how is your child's normal life?
Mr. Cui: my child was born in 2003 and is now learning language. I can't talk in the last few years. I want to say it in the last few years, but I can't pronounce it and bite the word, but I can't understand it. For the development of language, I spent two years in Zhengzhou and my son for nearly 200 thousand yuan, and an autistic school in Zhengzhou has developed a good language. Many teachers also say, the airport hall is very large, there are many lights, the child is very happy, easy to forget, called one to feel very comfortable, children usually do not always like this.
surging news: are you worried that children will not be able to fly any more?
Mr. Cui: I don't think I'll ever take an airplane later. Even if you carry the proof, he will not let you sit, because I took the child's account book, disability certificate and related evidence with him, but it was useless. Because a member of his staff can refuse you. A sentence of "abnormal behavior may jeopardize other passengers" can sentence you to death. I don't have the energy to fight a lawsuit.
surging news: after that, how do you feel?
Mr. Cui: let's let this pass. There are many discussions on the Internet. As a family member of the disabled, a lot of things are not imagined by ordinary people. The acceptance of the disabled is a social problem. I still want to appeal to society, including airlines, railroads and so on, to give care and understanding to autistic children and disabled people later. It also calls for more publicity and understanding of autism.
surging news: worried that children will be discriminated against?
Mr. Cui: Zhuhai includes the entire Guangdong province for the disabled, with relevant documents, very good for autistic children, including teachers, schools including facilities, and so on. Our children have a subsidy of 300 yuan a month, and there will be supplies for the new year, although not many, but for the parents of children with autism, it is a great comfort to prove that the country and the society have not forgotten you.
