We are taking our first real family vacation ever. Kyle, my son with autism, is 8. And Ella, my daughter who almost had autism, is 6. We're flying to Orlando and taking advantage of the great military rate on Disney tickets. We are staying at a condo about a mile away and renting a car. I plan to do most of our dinners at the condo and pack lunches for the parks during the day. I'm excited! I've heard from more than one person that this is the best place to take an autistic child for vacation. Wish us luck!

AutismOne is a private, nonprofit, 501(c)3 organization with its primary mission of helping children and families within the autism spectrum and related conditions. AutismOne is an educational organization, and all lectures, information, and presentations are for informational purposes only. No information on this website nor any AutismOne related event should be construed as medical and/or legal advice or recommendations. We strongly advise that all children needing specific medical or legal advice seek counsel of a duly licensed professional. Every child is unique, and to attempt to address complex medical issues without a trained and experienced expert is akin to a lay person attempting to perform surgery without any training. Doing either would risk serious (and in some cases could have irreversible) consequences.

Going to Disneyworld tomorrow!
