Traveling with Autistic Children

[Guest guest]

Reporter request:

"I am writing an article "Traveling with Autistic Children: Tips for Fellow Travelers and Parents" for Uptake.com - a family travel blog. I have had no problem finding tips for parents on how to ease the experience for their autistic child. However, I am still searching for practical tips for the traveler who finds himself seated beside a child with autism on a flight or at the next table in a restaurant. Please be specific. Be patient, be understanding and be empathic does not tell a traveler how to handle a trying situation. What tips do you have for travelers who want to help but do not know what is the right thing to do?"
