A mother and her “low-functioning, non-verbal” autistic son Elijah were stranded on the Caribbean island of Aruba after Elijah had an episode while boarding the flight, forcing the family to disembark and split up after no services were offered to return the family home. After a few weeks stranded on the island, an ER physician got in contact with Carnival Cruise Line, who redirected a ship to rescue Elijah and his mother.

"An autistic teen and his mother were stranded in the Caribbean for three weeks after airlines refused to fly him home.

Jamie Greene set off from her home in Toms River, New Jersey - 50 miles east of Philadelphia - for a vacation in Aruba with her son Elijah Kapatos, 15, who has 'low-functioning, non-verbal autism,' as well as her two younger kids Brandon and Brice, aged seven and 12, and her boyfriend Carlos Pacheco.

The family of five had flown to Disney last year, without any event - and enjoyed their week-long vacation.

But when they arrived at Oranjestad Airport, Aruba, for their return flight to Newark, on United Airlines, on May 17, Elijah became startled."
