    CityPass

    I'm using one right now. I got mine through LastMinuteTravel.com and it was a 3day hopper, 1 day at Universal, 1 day at San Diego Zoo and 1 day at San Diego Animal Park. Got it for $199. I checked in at Disneyland, turned in my e-mailed confirmation and they gave me the tickets. Paper...

    OT Reactive Attachment

    As an adoptive mom with a couple of kids affected by RAD issues I've found 3 books very helpful. Parenting the Hurt Child : Helping Adoptive Families Heal and Grow by Gregory Keck and Regina Kupecky Adopting the Hurt Child: Hope for Families With Special-Needs Kids : A Guide for Parents...

    anyone visit KSC lately?

    We were just there in November. We have 2 boys with Asperger's and we enjoyed all the exhibits and tours. We did just the basic tour of KSC. It took a little convincing to get my boys on the Shuttle Launch simulator, which btw, is incredible! If you have the opportunity, I'd say go for...

    Is the world ready for an Asperger's sitcom?

    We absolutely LOVE this show! I have 2 ds's on the spectrum and see so much of our lives in Sheldon and his friends. We loved the one with the white board and Sheldon trying to make a friend and how he got caught in an endless loop! It seems like the writers have really got a good grasp of...

    Autistic 12yr son and Epcot - Soarin and Test Track ride question

    When we were there in November my 11, 10 and 9 year old sons all had to use the extra slide through belt because they weren't tall enough. Not a big deal other than trying to help all three of them get it done in a timely manner...so many kids, not enough hands! My 9 year old is one of my ASD...

    Autistic 12yr son and Epcot - Soarin and Test Track ride question

    Both of my sons with AS have been on both of these rides. My oldest is 15 and he first went on it when he was 12. He didn't like the noise from the outside but once we got him on he loved it and the CM's even let us go around again without having to exit, they could see his joy. He had no...

    OK, so how do we tell the kids?

    We haven't done a surprise Disney trip but we did one to Hawaii once. One of our boys saw us packing late one night and saw swimsuits. He went and told the other boys what he'd seen. We never said where we were going and they decided themselves that we must be heading to the Oregon Coast (a 90...

    And The Mom of The Year Award Goes To....... NOT ME!!!!

    When my ds, now 15, was 2 months old I was carrying him down the stairs when I slipped on something one of us had left on the stairs to carry up the next time we had a free hand. I slid down about 6 stairs on my back and when I got to the bottom my son was face down on the hallway carpeting. I...

    Universal GAP/ Seaworld

    We were just there in November and not only do you have to get one for each day you're there, but they've recently made a policy change that no more than 4 can use a family's GAP. What we were told was that up to 4 of our 6 could use the GAP to wait in another area and the other 2 would go...

    Simpsons ?

    I could do Spiderman just fine but the Simpsons really gave me a headache. I loved the ride and would have loved to go on it again, but I couldn't do it.

    Ordering off the children's menu for 10+

    Just did it all last week, in all 4 parks, with all 4 of my kids and only one of them is under 10. No problem at all! (My boys are 15, 11, 10 and 9.)

    To early to take baby?

    We took a 6 week old with us, way back when! (He's 15 now!) My parents were with us as well and it was actually really easy! He was the first grandchild on both sides and my parents wouldn't hardly let us hold him at all, they were so in love with him (and still are). I didn't use a sling...

    Does your child receive ABA services?

    In our community it's not used much, if at all, that I know of.

    Anyone there now? (Oct 20-ish)

    Is anyone in Orlando now that would be willing to pick up some park brochures for my autistic sons? We're heading down in a few weeks and I'm trying to figure out how to best prepare them for their days in the parks (we're going to all 4 parks, DTD, Kennedy Space Center and both Universal...
