Welcome to Traveling Autistic
We are a family who loves to travel, but also has two boys on the spectrum and are learning strategies for coping with their sensory needs so that the whole family can enjoy being away.
We are learning by doing
We don’t have all the answers but we are trying different strategies and will share our successes and failures hoping to help others.
Place Recommendations
When we find somewhere that is autistic friendly, we will share (we will also post recommendations from others).
Pre-trip Preparation Ideas
We have found that good preparation is often what makes a trip successful rather than dreadful. We will share some of our strategies developed over time.
Trip Planning Ideas
We will share ideas of what to look for when booking accommodations, tours, and other travel related experiences.
Suggestions for Adapting Your Space
Often we find we need to make some adaptations to our living accommodations for our boys to be safe and comfortable. We will share what has worked for us.
Funny Stories
In the midst of the challenges that come with neuro-divergence, we can loose sight of the joy that comes from travel and spending time together. This section is for sharing the joy we have experienced!
Miscellaneous
This section is for things that don’t fit anywhere else. It might contain random thoughts of life with autism or things that we are experiencing.
