There's a certain level of disability that simply makes one unable to fly on a plane. If you're an adult and so detached from the reality that you think the flight attendant is trying to eat your soul, and so you need to stab her? Yeah, you shouldn't be on a plane, disability inclusiveness be damned. If the kid has such profound special needs that he simply cannot sit in a chair on a plane without creating a safety hazard for the whole aircraft? He should not be on a plane, inclusivity be damned.

It's one thing if the kid has Tourette's and isn't doing anything except annoying some people. But when it comes to issues of physical safety, disability inclusion takes a back seat.
