[quote=Anonymous]We took a cruise with my then-undiagnosed ASD ADHD kid and it was a disaster. You have to radically rethink travel/outings. Only go places where your your child can succeed or be easily taken aside to a private place… and then when you’re trying something new that could be overwhelming (noisy, crowded, new stuff, up late, hard to sleep, different foods, ANY of these things) you have got to go slow, trying it in bite sized time chunks. My kid has also tried to dial 911 and tattle on us. He is 13 now, he’s NOT a dangerous kid, we finally know how to cope as a family and we have changed expectations. You really need a radical rethink… not being able yo handle a cruise does not mean your child is violent. Also you need other safety strategies than restraining. That is not a long term solution to improve anything. There is a whole lot going on and you need a really good parent coach that can help you deal with a tough kid. [/quote]
