My wife has epilepsy. She knows from experience that she needs to sit up front and near a window or the motion as we pull back from the gate and taxi will set off episodes for her. She looks fine as she boards. It kills her to know that people are thinking the worst. Sometimes people glare at her.
Truth be told, she’d be happy boarding with me (A-List) but it’s really early or nothing for her.
She only travels a few times a year because of this. The point of all this is to say: I get it and hear you, but try to assume the best. It won’t make you any happier to go on assuming the worst. 🤷.
