A Texas mother trying to return home with her two young children said they were kicked off a Southwest Airlines flight because her 3-year-old son who has autism would not wear a face mask.
Alyssa Sadler, of Deer Park, told NBC affiliate KPRC that she was visiting her husband in Midland and planned to fly back home on Monday with her son and 1-year-old daughter.
Sadler told the outlet that her son has a sensory disorder and doesn’t like his face touched, so he would not wear his mask. For people on the autism spectrum with sensory sensitives, wearing a mask may not be possible, according to the advocacy organization Autism Speaks. (nbcnews.com)
