This story is woefully incomplete. Where is the kid flying to? Boston, I imagine. Who takes him through Customs and Immigration there?

Since he flies out of LHR 4 times a year, one can only presume that he flies back also. What happens in the return flight? Who helps him at the departure airpost (BOS?)? Who helps him in Immigration at LHR, which is a nightmare even for non-autistic travelers?

It is a fun little story meant to balance the other harsh news of the day. It is not a biography on the poor chap.

I understand that it's a fun little story. But, for god's sake, at least make it somewhat believable!

What's unbelievable about it?

Why get so outraged?

I apologize for sounding outraged; I wasn't outraged at the actual events, but the story telling. It's as if someone leaves out critical parts of a story, and you're so engrossed in it that you think: wait a minute, how did that happen? I want to know more, dammit! :-)

You think the BBC invented this?
