I just joined these boards yesterday, I am very happy to have found you! What great information is here. I have a nine year old daughter with autism and a twelve year old son with mild ADHD. We have been to WDW at least 10 times since my daughter was diagnosed at two and a half and we have always had a wonderful vacation.
I am very involved in the autism community of parents here in NJ. Because of this I was approached to make a presentation at an autism conference in May about traveling to WDW with an autistic child. I know you all know that the tips you get from other parents are the most valuable. I would so appreciate it and so would the parents who attend my session) if you would tell me the tips and tricks that helped you the most that would also help other parents, especially those with children who are newly diagnosed or on the severe side.
Example: if you show the parking attendants the special assistance pass in the parking lot they will wave you through to park in medical parking and then you don't have to deal with tram problems and issues - very valuable when the parks are crowded.
Thanks for any advice you can offer!
