Children with autism have difficulty adjusting to changes. They mostly rely on routines and familiar places, objects and activities to occupy their time, day in and day out.

Any change in schedule would probably bring an onslaught of varied reactions from them.

Family-friendly places are beginning to make adjustments to accommodate these families to their places. For example, these families can now have Florida vacations because Walt Disney World have made arrangements for guests who have a child with autism welcome.

I also found this site helpful for those families with a child who has autism in the USA who are looking for places to go to.

In England, Picturehouse Cinemas schedule autism-friendly movie screening days where the lights and volume are both reduced. And yes, they are free to move around too!

Do you know of any places where these families can have a vacation? Suggest these places now and help other families.
