Thanks for the link... although still no mention of autism. The kid is 19 months old... at this age the cognitive controls which are managed by the frontal lobes are not yet developed (hence the "terrible twos"). His rambunctious behaviour both in the interview and perhaps on the plane are entirely normal for a child of his age. I could see no sign of autism spectrum. He engaged emotionally, made eye contact and showed social behaviours such as the "thank you" to the co-presenter. This even melted phx's heart, which until now had been permafrost.
I am still very curious as to what action was taken against the FA. There were a number of witnesses who contradicted her account. I think it comes close to an offence to lie to the captain and interfere with the normal operation of an aircraft..
