Epilepsy

[2 princes and a princess]

My 4 year old son has Autism and Epilepsy. Are there any rides that he should Avoid due to flashing lights, etc...? Thanks in advance!

First thing that comes to my mind is there is a part of Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin that might cause problems.

Hello. I am a 42 yr old epileptic and my thoughts are also on Buzz light year, I don't rightly remember where it was exactly on the ride, but I kept my eyes shut a good part of the time. My seizures are medically controlled, but even then It was a rough ride. Plenty of other rides though. Have a great time and enjoy.

I keep plugging the book Passporter Open Mouse, it is a guide for special needs folks visiting WDW -- I would recommend looking at it online to see if it would have a section on that. I bet it would since it is a big concern.

If you have the slightest doubt, ask a CM. That's what they're their for or just sit it out. I have Epilepsy and colored flashing lights are fine, as long as they are not those flashie things. I hate those! Too bright for me for some reason. The straight strobe lights on like Space Mountain....ah, no. (I've only seen it on youtube, not willing to ride it).
