So, who do we have on board?
Hi everyone,
I have 4 children who are all special needs one way or other. My oldset two we adopted them 12 years ago and the oldest has muscular dystropy (no signs except gets tired quickly when walking a lot)learning, add. The next chilld has fetal alochol syndrome.(learning other then that just smallest body size) and ADHD. The last two children we just adopted them . One has asperger's syndrome(autism spectrum).My daughter has some learning deficts and ADHD. My husband is ADD.
We had to learn a lot with our son with ASD. Any change or alot of noise he can go into a meltdown. We use the GAC . Without it we have major meltdowns with everyone. This year we are going to rent a stroller for my ASD son. We have not done it before , but we are going to try and see if this will help us with the crowds and over stimulation. He is 11 years old.
Going to Disney is a big job. Some days I just wonder is this all woth it. It is to see the kids enjoy it. We have to go to the room at lunch time , so everyone does not get over whelmed. One of my kids room is all STITCH. We have all the STITCH things.
Last August we had to hold our son down during a meltdown and some people throught we were hurting him. Once the meltdown was done he was ok. We went back to the room.
I thought I knew a lot because I work with special needs everyday until I have a child with ASD.
