safe to travel form

[Alexandra]

We are of to America in May, so rang the airline

just to check a few things, the lady was very nice and helpful,

but said they need a form from Our GP to say that M is safe to fly

and he won't be a danger to others on the flight, Is this normal? I had to be

honest and say yes he can be violent, he's only 9 and tiny for his age, but usually on medication he's ok.

really worried now, Help ...

Hi Alexandra, if you're worried about how your lad will cope with the flight it should be possible to get a mild sedative from your gp to give to him during the flight. I know a lady who did this when she took her little girl over to the US for a therapeutic programme. She knew her little girl wouldn't cope with being on a plane for that long and would become very violent and a danger to herself and others.

 

Good luck. Hope you enjoy it. <'> <'>

Last year I took a tour to Europe with my son and the travel agency asked me the same questions. The reason was, according to them, that the travel insurance doesn't cover preexisting conditions so I had to sign a paper accepting that any harm caused to him, other people or property as result of his ASD would not be included in the insurance policy.

 

A mild sedative would be a good idea in case your daughter is too scared or agitated and it would be worth asking your GP. Melatonin usually calms my son when he's nervous.

 

Good luck!
