If you had a fear of flying, you'd react to flying with fear, which doesn't mean the same thing for everyone.
Anyway, coming in from the Asperger's end, it seems reasonable to me, depending on several things. Like the rest of the person's actions. I'd believe that someone would start screaming from the noise in that situation, but only if he consistently showed hypersensitivity to noise and only if screaming were in his repetoire of responses to such situations. Sounds childish, in the sense that with age come other, better, coping mechanisms.
Which is why I would say are they screaming becasue they have a fear of flying or becasue they have aspergers. Remember to that we are all going to hand the sensitivitys we have in different ways. Just like people who have a fear of flying are going to deal with it in different ways.
I guess that's what my real point was. So may scream. Other may be just fine with flying. Others my have a fear and react to and say it's because of there aspergers. Well other's to may have the fear break down and be seen as having aspergers or autism.
I guess it goes back to well we have have the common thing of having autism, aspergers, ADHD, etc that does not mean that we are all going to act and do things in the same way. Unless we are all clones of one another.
