Announcing the availability of a new training film Autism Takes Flight, Autism Society of Pittsburgh President Dan Torisky said  “Parents will learn if travelling by air with their autistic family member is feasible – or not.  Airports can be hectic and most challenging for people with autism.”

The 12-minute film was produced by the Autism Society of Pittsburgh in cooperation with Delta Airlines, the Transportation Security Administration, and the Allegheny County Airport Authority.   It is a compilation of video footage of recent training sessions for autism families held at the Greater Pittsburgh International Airport.   It provides enlightening educational tips to make flying easier for those with autism.

The film shows families and those with autism what air travel entails – from ticketing through security to boarding and baggage claim.  It is also a realistic onsite training tool, helping airport employees recognize and handle challenges their air travelers with autism face.

The widely recognized fear of flying is even more difficult for those with autism who are especially sensitive to noise, movement, and crowded spaces. Many families do not attempt to fly with their children on the spectrum because of their fears.
