[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not yet but I'm guessing once the oldest is off to college this may happen.

My friend whose son has autism never takes him or acknowledges that he isn't there. She takes her other two children and they take 2000 pictures as a family of 4 that she posts on FB. At least 4 times a year. [/quote]

Have you travelled with an autistic kid with significant challenges? It’s…hard. On them, on the parents, on your other kids, on your fellow airplane/train/bus passengers, and on just about everyone you encounter whilst trying to be on “vacation”. [/quote]

It wouldn’t be so weird if she didn’t make daily over-the-top posts about her perfect family and what amazing (luxury$$$) trip they are having minus their child. And I know for sure she doesn’t take him. They have an immigrant woman they pay to watch him when they travel. She also takes care of him pretty much any time he’s not at school so as not to “disrupt” their family life. [/quote]

I'm totally sure that you are taking this opportunity to dump on this woman and judge her because you have similar challenges in your own life and always include a child with severe challenges in every facet, and are able to meet your own needs ,the needs of your severely disabled child and your multiple other children completely while remaining completely happy and sane yourself.

I'm sure that there are ways this family's vacations or other activities could be done better, but unless you've walked in these shoes, this was a cruel and useless angle to this thread. I hope I don't know you in real life - you seem petty and incredibly unsympathetic.  To the parent, the autistic child (who you are exploiting here to feel superior among other things), and their family.
