Travel trauma
When British couple Lisa and Jason opted to return to the UK, it was easier
said than done their son Thomas, who has Aspergers syndrome, has a real
fear of flying. Once on the plane, Thomas made a run for it and the family
had to disembark. Their next attempt was to sail, but Thomas was ready to
jump ship. Finally, the couple resorted to a medical extreme, and had Thomas
put into a coma for the long journey home.
