[quote=Anonymous]I totally get it!  My DS, 17, has a rare syndrome with autistic traits, so I feel for you.  We were at Hershey over Thanksgiving and he completely lost it on the Chocolate World ride.  They had to stop the ride and my husband and I had to carry him out....the one good thing about having short stature!

In hindsight, I know what I did wrong.  He did well in the morning (as you mentioned OP) but by 4 he'd reached his limit.  Honestly, I was prolonging it for my other DS since I always feel we cut things short.

The rest of the trip was better then this first day of our trip because we cut it off in early afternoon.

It's so hard.  We can't go out to dinner on vacation.  We get a sitter for our SN son and go out with the other child.

Some people say why not just stay home but I want him to go and enjoy places and activities out there.   We just need to do it on our own schedule.

PS - this is why we've never gone to Disney World.   No way would he stand in a line (even one with fast pass, it's not fast enough) and no way would he want to stay more then a couple of hours for those prices!  lol

Hang in there!! Now it's Sunday and he's tired after our holiday and said he wanted to watch his IPAD in his room for the evening (go for, I said!!)  so I can enjoy a big glass of wine by myself.[/quote]
