Mental illness, developmentally disabled, or just plain crazy folks can present unique dangers to other passengers or themselves in a crowded cabin. There are other options available...
And yes I do have Autism experience in the family.
Couldn't have said it better. Disabilities cause limitations. Flying by airline might be a limitation in this case. Want to fly- charter a plane. Can't afford it? Train, boat, or automobile are options. A double amputee doesn't sue a ski shop for not renting him skis. He's limited by his disability and no fault of the ski shop. This girl my not be able to fly and is limited by her disability. That's not united fault.
