Best park for a 3 year old with Autism

[forrevolution]

Hello,

What is the best park to take a 3 year old to? He has autism, but he is high functioning.

I want him to be stimulated and have fun and be able to ride the rides, but IDK anything about Disney World.

Thanks a lot!

A little more information will help us to give you better ideas.

What kinds of things does he like to do?

What kinds of things is he interested in?

What does he not like?

Is he a sensory seeker (likes movement, noise, action) or a sensory avoider (prefers things to be quiet and calm)?

Are there things he is afraid of or intolerant of?

In general Magic Kingdom would be the obvious choice, but with our kids there are so many factors to consider.

In additin to what Sue asked:

Are you staying on site? and if so are you near a particualar park.

Does you child have any special areas of interest

are there any shows or characters (or other things like animals) that you child is especially drawn to.

How is you child's stamina and tolerance for sitting for extended times.

And what about noises and colors? Is your child sensitive to those?

MK is, as bookwormde stated, the obvious choice for a three year old, but there can be some "triggers' such as bright colors, loud noises, or too many people.
