Need advise on taking autistic child on DCL

[DisneyMom05]

Hello! I am looking for advise from any fellow parents of autistic children that have taken a Disney Cruise. My family and I are planning to take a Disney Cruise this summer with my 12 year old DS. We have been to WDW on numerous occassions with no major incidents. He loves to interact with the characters and really enjoys the shows. I am concerned with him getting "seasick" and any other cruise related issues. I would appreciate any assistance in making his experience as enjoyable and comfortable as possible.

Thank you mm lover in Ia...that was exactly the kind of information I was looking for. I feel alot more comfortable about our upcoming cruise vacation. I am sure my DS will enjoy it as much as WDW!

In addition to the threadalready mentioned the people at Passporter are in the final stages of their book on WDW and DCL for those that have physical and mental challenges. I'm sure they would have some information you could use.
