Hi!
I am traveling to Disney in May 2018 with my (will be) 16 yo DD and (will be) 11yo DS. My son has autism. He has grown in leaps and bounds in the past two years (can verbalize wants, can adjust better to plan disruptions) and I am hoping will have a wonderful first trip. (I have also spent the last year battling cancer and I am finally in remission so this is our celebration trip.)
Can anyone point me towards any resources or reading (I have read the DAS info from Disney) that might be helpful to planning a trip with an autistic child? I know there is a lot of roll with the punches with good days and bad but I find the more insight I have going in the better I can help him cope.
Thank you for any guidance. I am excited to have him take his first trip but very nervous. I want it to be a wonderful experience for him. We are staying at the Poly if that info helps in anyway.
