    Single Mom traveling with son with ASD

    We use to have noise cancelling headphones (I still have them) but I noticed my son started to get uncomfortable wearing them in public. We switched to ear plugs and he keeps them in his pocket and uses them when he feels he needs them. A quiet place on the ship is going to be a must for us...

    Single Mom traveling with son with ASD

    I just wanted to post an update to this thread as we had our trip in November and thank everyone for their suggestions. I tried a few things with my son to make sure he was comfortable during our trip. Mostly he chose to sit by himself while we rode rides he didn't want to go on. Broke my...

    Book through a travel agent or no?

    I have used a TA for my recent Disney trip and just booked a cruise with one. Not sure if my expectations are off but I'm not having the best experience. (I didn't use DU). Might just make my own in the future I'd get the same results I feel.

    We Knew It Was Coming . . .

    I did monogrammed pillow cases on our last trip and I was hoping to add signatures to them this year.

    Tower of Literal Terror

    My DD wanted to ride this ride on our last trip 3 years ago and chickened out at the last minute. I've always "wanted" to ride but HATE that drop feeling in your stomach. Our next trip is November and I'm pretty sure I won't be able to avoid riding this time. DD has entered her adventurous...

    **Official** Star Wars at DHS, Galactic Spectacular Dessert Party/Galactic Nights/Launch Bay/JT

    I am just realizing this now. My son is a HUGE SW fan and I'm heartbroken to tell him he won't get to see this. It ends the week before our trip. %&*#

    Character meals and autographs

    I'm surprised Olaf didn't sign. While I was at Disneyland for a quick trip last year I got his signature and a picture. Maybe it was a new change which stinks, but like you said a sticker or something would have been nice.

    Character meals and autographs

    On our last trip in 2014 I had the characters sign a pillow case so the kids could keep it on their bed. I'm hoping to add to the pillow cases this year. It would stink if they go to pre-signed cards.

    Single Mom traveling with son with ASD

    No local parks where I live, but he has been to Disney a few times before. It's not completely new to him. Like I said he really surprised me on our last trip and tried things with his sister I didn't think he would and he had a good time. I think everyone's suggestion to take breaks is good...

    Yes our son's sound very similar. I have never tried breaking up the day, might have been my issue in the past. Thanks for the suggestion

    Single Mom traveling with son with ASD

    Yes he has a phone and takes pictures from time to time. Definitely loves video games. You are right, planning is key and knowing what your getting into certainly helps. I have been looking at the ride videos to see what they are like. I'll start showing them to him now to get an idea what...

    Single Mom traveling with son with ASD

    Thank you everyone. Yes he is high functioning ASD. I'm relieved to know that he has the option to use the "chicken out" route if needed. I think also talking with him about the situation prior to the trip might help me too. Letting him know he has options and letting him help me decide what...
