The battle between telling and not telling. If you tell then you can prepare but but the anxiety kicks in and also you might miss something important and then....THE MELTDOWN. If you don't tell then they might freak out at not knowing and then....THE MELTDOWN. The thing that I have finally...

Just a thought for the headphones if noises bother your little one. Sometimes things get loud and if that causes stimulation then you might want to consider that type of distraction anyway for those times as well. Just another thought. Good luck.:goodvibes

of a pin and snow globe? I don't even know where to look.

I knew I would be asked what company we used and I honestly can't remember. Our last trip was almost two years ago. A week after we got back, my mom had a stroke. Drove everything out of my mind. We know it wasn't Town and Country because we have used them in the past and for some reason we...

Last time as a surprise, I booked a limo ride to take us back to the airport from our hotel. Not a town car but a stretch limo. We didn't care for it. Is there something wrong with our family? For the price I just didn't see what the hoopla was supposed to be. I mean, the guy did not have...

A bit off topic but still pertinent. My sister worked for a florist before 9/11 and she delivered a balloon bouquet to someone at the local IRS office. It was a cold day and one of the latex balloon popped when she went from the cold of outdoors to the warmth of the building. Everyone in the...

I know this is always a tricky subject here anyway but basically this is just ADA law and for higher functioning children that we want to make as independent as possible the goal is self-advocacy. At least it is for me. I have taught my son that his autism and TS is nothing to ashamed of and...

It's hard because WDW is where my son first became a man :rotfl2: . He is still just 15. First WDW then admissions to other places, then menus at restaurants etc. Those transition years are very hard. I think WDW was a little easier for me because my little monster loves every ride - he has...

I second getting the accessible room. We are a family with multiple disabilities. My son has Tourette's Syndrome, HF Autism and ADHD. I have Lupus, Crohn's Disease, Autoimmune Thyroid disease and now possibly CREST syndrome. Some days are good and other days are bad. But on a rocking and...

This is especially directed to those who have children on the Spectrum and who visit WDW repeatedly. This will seem like common sense but when you hear what I did, my hope is that I can save another family a similar experience. We have been taking our HF Autistic son to WDW since he was about...

Sue, Over the years I have come back to this forum and I want to add my thanks. In addition to help with Disney related trips, you and others have provided me with invaluable advice on the different disabilities that we have in our family and guidance on how to handle it. You probably don't...

I can't swear to it, but I'm guessing that they don't give you the meal vouchers until you check in for reservation number two.

How bad will the crowds be next week?!:eek:

If Disney is able to actually put together more healthy meals less expensively than junk I'll be very surprised. All I know is that when I try to really clean up my lifestyle :lmao: it is MUCH more expensive. Cookies cost a few pennies to bake. I can grow a few of my own veggies in summer but...

This thread is most troubling to me. I think it is bad enough when those whose lives have not been touched by disability attack the disabled community but when we start second guessing each other....... I speak as the daughter of a man who is a quad. The mother of a son with autism and...

His wife is really pretty! And considering that her shot is a candid, without special lighting, makeup etc... However, I just don't think there is anything that seems nice about what's her name? Stephanie? She seems phony. And the bachelor this time around seems like a pretty decent guy...

I used to lead a sheltered life! Then I started working for unemployment in my state!:scared1: I've heard one variation or another of these stories over the past decade. Humans are a sick breed!:lmao: I wish I could share some of my stories but then I'd be joining the ranks of the...

I added dining to my reservation this morning and guaranteed deposit with CC. When I pull up the res online it shows the deposit but doesn't mention food! When and where will this show?

Post if you got it!!!! I'm so happy this morning. Good luck to everyone!:banana:
