Triggers: Bright colors with movement, Loud music, swift movement (no restraints) Pro: Original Disney characters make this a safe, easy, fun ride. No actual dips/drops (simulated waterfall only) Exit: You can opt out and wait on the other side of the exit gate if the child is 8 years or older We were SO excited to experience this new attraction…
We were so excited to have the opportunity to visit SeaWorld Orlando! I read how it was a newly Certified Autism Center and wanted to learn more about what that looks like in person. So we tacked this visit to the beginning of our Mom and Son Disney trip! We were incredibly lucky to have a childhood friend of mine,…
Like most everyone here in the United States, we are now faced with extended spring breaks and potential for school closures longer than anticipated. And like most other parents, we MIGHT be trying to figure out how the heck we are going to manage! We are lucky in that we can work from home, and I know others are scrambling…
Not sure about you, but I definitely don’t fight the crowds on Black Friday…or maybe because we just don’t have a mall near us! But give me a good online Black friday or Cyber Monday deal and I’m IN. Bonus, when I can score some great Sensory items that I know my child is looking for for Christmas! A few…
Triggers: n/a Pro: Interactive story telling, able to move around Exit: Due to moving between 3 rooms, exit is possible, but if you feel this is not a good fit for your child, I would just avoid the attraction. This is definitely more of an attraction than a ride! Enchanted Tales with Belle is just as the name would suggest,…
Triggers: Wait can be long before entering large amphitheater type room Pro: Super funny jokes, animations! Exit: Due to length of show, I would suggest if your child wants to opt out last minute, that your entire party (or at least one adult), wait with them through the exit doors. We don’t always hit this attraction on our visits, but…
Triggers: Some up/down movement in car, air blowing, bright colors with movement Pro: Pooh is a well known “safe” cartoon character, slow moving Exit: You can opt out and wait on the other side of the exit gate if the child is 8 years or older If you had asked me initially, I would have said this was a NO-brainer,…
I’m sure you are like me, Amazon Prime is basically my go-to for EVERYTHING. Through trial and error, I am sharing my favorite SPD, ADHD, and cognitive disorder assistance items. From toys, books, quiet time activities and more! Let us know if you have products that work for you and we will add! Books! I am an avid reader and…
While planning our most recent trip to Disney, I was a little worried about my autistic child who has high sensory needs. After an experience we had previously at Disney, we found he can get very anxious in line, and sometimes will get upset and not want to ride. A little harder to navigate if he choses to run or…
Triggers: Drops, dark intense Pro: n/a Exit: You can opt out and wait on the other side of the exit gate if the child is 8 years or older Personally, this is always a NO for me. I have ridden it at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland. I do NOT enjoy the feeling of falling, and this is basically…
