I am a little uneducated on the GAC. I wanna figure out if getting one will make my day flow a little better.
Just to give a little background. I have epilepsy and my DD has ADHD and anxiety. For me I have had epilepsy for 13 yrs now but never knew about the GAC. Do I need one, I don't know. I mean yes the more exhausted or stressed I am it can bring on a seizure...has it yet at Disney ...NO.
As for DD(8)....she is just recently diagnosed. Have I noticed the symtoms before....YES but I didn't take the label lightly and wanted the CORRECT testing done not just a simple checklist. So after hours of testing and $3000... here we are with the diagnosis.
Now knowing all this I now look back on our last years Disney trip and think, yeah not being in the cattle Q, would have been less stimulating for her and might have not set off some temper tantrums. Now the meds we are teating hopefully will help, and this time I will take the ipod for long waits BUT my question is ....do both our issues qualify us for a GAC to use when we just can't be over stimulated any longer? I plan on using normal lines most times but am thinking the GAC would be nice for when I think that she can't take the stimulation any longer? as for me...well you know how it is as a parent....don't think about my issues that much.
Any helpful hints and knowledge would be appreciated!!!
