Flying with Autistic child

Hi

I am going away to Tenerife with my Mum and my 4 sons at Easter, on of my sons (aged 11) has Aspergers Syndrome and I was wondering if I can ask for priority boarding, either first or last depending on what would suit him better. If so do I have to inform the airline before departure date??? Or just at check in?

We are flying with Monarch to Tenerife from Luton.

    Hi,

    I've flown with my autistic son. All I did was go to the staff at the departure gate and said that we needed extra time for boarding, and there was no problem at all.
