Family Travel and Autism

It's Time for Everyone to Have Fun!

Vacations with a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder can be chaotic, nerve rattling and stressful!  So stressful that many families do not take a vacation.  Well, no more!  Welcome to the site dedicated to helping your family travel, vacation and have fun!

Do you love nature but need more structure to your outings?  Perhaps your little one would like to learn more about the beach, dinosaurs or (eek!) bats?  Then check into the story about the Junior Ranger Program  offered in our National Parks.

Adventure travel?  Why should I pay when my everyday life with my son is an adventure?

The key to a happy vacation is simple really.  Just like the real estate mantra -- instead of location, chant preparation.

Our new article on the Happiest Place on Earth helps with management of your children and money.

Camping can be cost effective as well as family oriented.  Enjoy the great outdoors again!

Getting there is a real battle and hours in the car can stress the happiest of families.  Gadgets in the car help with the ride and they don't have to break your bank.

 

UPDATE 1/9/10

Since September 2009, the doctors have found a small lump.  They seem unconcerned yet are monitoring it.  Monitoring of course means lots of tests and added stress.  That is why my blogs and updates have ground to a halt.  My apologies.  I hope to continue with the start of a new year.  Keep checking back!  We just returned from a week in Washington DC.  I have fabulous tips on how to make a trip there as exciting as Disneyland!
