i read in another thread when requesting a GAC, not to give a cm diagnoses, but rather request what you need... and those needs are delineated on the GAC w/certain "stamps"... what are the various "stamps" used on a GAC? i know they recently changed... and what does each stamp permit as far as waiting area?
ds has some PDD spectrum issues... ADHD, Sensory Integration Dysfunction, spatial issues, et al, and last year dh would not "allow" me to get a GAC (or even request one) 'cause he did not want it to go on ds' "permanent disney record" (LOL?) so we did not, but more than once we either had to skip a ride or leave a park all-together because ds was just overwhelmed by the line or too many people in his "personal space"... typically i can "talk him down" but when his senses are being overloaded, well, there's no talking him down! even the elevator ride up to the astro orbiter had him "spinning!" due to the crowd...
anyway, a quiet/uncrowded place to wait, a chance to handle meltdowns so we don't have to lose a park day, etc would be super-helpful... but i'm just not sure how to ask for that...
