RE: Taking my autistic daughter to Universal Studios...or not

in #life7 years ago

I'm so glad you made this opportunity for her. It's hard for us to go on these types of adventures because I need extra support and so does my eldest. Loud, busy places are a special form of torture even though both Kid 1 and I LOVE roller coasters and all the options of amusement parks. Cedar Point had some great options for us--you can go in before or after hours when it's quieter, and we can "save" a place in line to avoid standing in the queue and being too overstimulated to participate by the time we get to the front. We brought our service dog and managed 5 hours one day and 2 more the next. Most successful vacation to date, especially because we stayed on site and had a significant drive/Part 2 of that trip.
