Music is a good way to go. And fun movies 🎥. Sometimes flights have live cable so that is an option.

Check your local airport they should offer days were people with ASD can go practice going through the process of getting on the plane/ through claims etc. if he has any services like OT or ABA the therapists can also help you with tips and practicing my last resort would be to medicate my child I would exhaust all efforts first just my opinion I know each child is different and some may need to be sedated. 💜

I have to see if doctor would prescribe but it's nice idea. Thanks @A MyAutismTeam Member

We’ve never flown anywhere, yet, but I’m sure our son would be thrilled to fly on an airplane.

Sedatives seem the best option. Those are long flights, though. If you look around, some airlines do flat beds or cabin services. Private cabin services if that helps. To keep him calm and away from people. Strangers may do thing to upset him. Along with sedatives, or just melatonin, it might be possible to fly.
