I get the socialization aspect...a few people tried to tell me that he needs the socialization from school, but while he was in first grade in the PS, he was terrified of the other kids, he was already so wound up from whatever else wasn't going right that he couldn't manage talking or playing...

A good camera bag should work and then place it in either a purse or backpack. Hold it between your feet or behind your feet and that should be fine. I would love to see her art used for the billboard!! Please?? :)

When we started homeschooling my oldest (8, he has Autism) I was on the receiving end of a lot of criticism from family, friends and everyone else. I still receive comments from people in the special needs community, that either have children with special needs or work with children with special...

Exactly...it also depends on when you are going, the prices vary between seasons. Also, SOG rates depend on rank, so for $105, I would say that you are looking at category 1 and a poolside room which isn't bad at all. For us, in January, PORS in a preferred room, weekday rate would be 187...

I agree, it really is so much about timing. We're in MD, and have driven down so many times. The best for us has been to leave very early in the morning (3am or so) that way we get through DC and Northern VA before the craziness starts. You are a little over 2 hours North of us, so I would...

SOG has always been booked and more expensive when we have looked. We have gone there for tickets and breakfast (the day we got tickets), but otherwise always stayed in either a Value or Moderate resort. We have also never used the dining plan, just not worth it for our family, we have priced...

Another was a CM who gave my DGD a pin set. He explained that it was a special pin set and the she was supposed to give one of the matching pins to someone else. She was 5 years old and was an avid pin trader. WE kind of forgot the whole thing until she tried to give it to a little girl who had...

Hi all! I am new to the thread! I am Jenny I home school my boys (kindergarten and second grade). My oldest has Autism, high anxiety, and lots of delays. Our experience with the public school was a horrible one and that road ultimately led to homeschooling as my best option. I love it so much...

Hi! I came over from the Spectrum Moms TR and I've been reading your blog, so I'm excited to hear how you work Disney and the spectrum together. Maybe get some ideas that we can work into our trips to make them even better! We're going in June! :yay: Jenny

I got the 32g and think thats perfect. I have movies, music, apps galore and room to spare. I got the wifi one thinking the same thing....well I have my phone. But, I wish I could go back and get the 3g. I would even be willing to trade my phone in for a simpler phone (gasp) in exchange for...

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I love the response I get on the Disboards. To answer a few questions.... We are driving, so no Magical Express. He actually loves the characters, so no issue there. I wouldn't think that there would be any issue with keeping reservations, as he doesn't...

Hi everyone....a couple of questions... We are a family of 4 (the kids are 4 and 6). My six year old has Autism and some serious food aversions. We normally pack his food with us wherever we go, because he won't eat restaurant food. Basically he will eat Pb&J (not the uncrustables), spaghetti...

I vote The Boardwalk and jellyrolls. It was fun and relaxing and the perfect fit for us when we got the chance to go without the kiddos.. Have fun!

wow.... Thank you all so much! This has been a great help. Knowing about the visual interest in AKL, zero entry pool, kids pool in the shade, kids activities...wow! So much information and a serious answer in my hands! Thanks for making it so easy! AKL here we come! Yeyy! (I wanted AKL...

Hi everyone, We are going to WDW this summer for my oldest sons birthday, he's turning 7 (he has Autism and is very interested in visual sights, his language/comprehension is more like that of a 3 year old or so). Our younger son is 4. So, its hubby, me and the two boys and we are debating...

Hi everyone, just a little info about our trip... We are going this summer for my oldest sons birthday, he's turning 7 (he has Autism and is very interested in visual sights, his language/comprehension is more like that of a 3 year old or so). Our younger son is 4. So, its hubby, me and the...

I FINALLY caught up! Gosh that took a while for me! (Oooppss....guess I should introduce myself) I'm Jenny, I have two boys, 6 (almost 7) and 4...my oldest was diagnosed at 3 with Pdd-NOS, but we seem to be moving more towards classic Autism every day. We took the boys to WDW for the first...

Not looking for an argument...just want to point something out...it may be a rare circumstance and obviously not the case for most people but it has happened to me and I'm sure to others too. A kid has a meltdown, no known reason for it, he's not tired or hungry, just does not want to be in...

I have to ask....where were you staying? We once stayed in All Star Movies and it just happened to be at the same time as the tour group of teenagers from Brazil. That was a little rough to deal with because they were extremely excited and out of that excitement they were running around very...

The first trip we took, the boys wore a lot of Disney character shirts, since then, not as many. But, I could never let them wear a different character to Disney...I would feel like a traitor....lol.
