    I DROVE across Canada rather than dare take a plane with a possibility of screaming and kicking children. Sensory issues are a bitch.

      Sometimes plane travel can’t be helped, and little children can be loud and obnoxious. I feel for those around me, but as a parent we have to endure this far longer than anyone else. It’s not like we like the noise either.

        There is a difference between hyperacusis and being annoyed by your own children.

        Conflating the two is ableist and insulting.

          I think the auto-reply should be an audible sigh and a “just shut the fuck up”. But hey, you tell me how you thought this would go?

          So now I need to conform to some dead-end 20 something because they can’t be bothered to bring headphones on a plane?

          Like I wasn’t an adult without kids at some point who had to fly with crying babies on board.

              True, and it’s my right to fly with them. I’m glad we’ve had this chat. I now feel a lot less pressure to please little dead-enders who just want silence. Life is noisy. I’m personally not in any rush for an eternity of silence, but you do you.
