Vacationing With Your Autistic Child
Just as all children diagnosed in the spectrum are unique so are the vacations that your family will need to choose. The important factor to remember is to learn to enjoy what you can do together and not dwell on what you can’t.
I have to give credit to Disney World for being kind and the most accommodating to our kids. With a doctor’s note of your child’s diagnosis they issue a special needs pass so that you don’t have to wait in the long lines, a major issue with many of our kids. If your kids have sound sensitivities, see if you can get them to wear ear plugs if they are apprehensive of the noises in the exhibits. They have enabled us to do so much more then we could do prior to getting my son to wear them. Sunglasses are a must for those with light sensitivities. They have so much to offer at Disney there really is literally some thing for everyone. Do not expect the same type of treatment if you go to Universal Studios. They do not offer any passes or special accomodations for our kids.
