Kids with autism require as much routine and structure as possible. But family vacations are still possible with this list of tips for traveling with autistic children.
Travel Tips
Kids with autism require as much routine and structure as possible. By definition, vacations are a break from routine activities. This explains why, as a widowed mom with two kids — the older being my son Nate, 15, who has autism — I've avoided family vacations. But wondering "What if?," I contacted a variety of experts and, with the help of Autism Speaks, solicited ideas from other parents of children with autism — there's quite a network. A flood of e-mails later, I've compiled this list of tips for parents who might be ready to hit the beach and test the waters during Autism Awareness Month.
