[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I only sign up more expensive, good review and structured summer camps. They have daily/weekly schedule that they know what to expect. I spent a lot of time doing research every year to narrow down what camps they would enjoy and I let them to make decisions which ones to sign up. I share with them in advance if there are swim tests, forecast of rain/heat warnings, program details etc.. I think all these help. One child does not have IEP. The other child's IEP are social friendship, anxiety, and more flexibility. ASD is a spectrum. However, I have seen other NT kids exhibit similar personality characters. I was also surprised that they could do sleepaway camp without accomondation, but they love it that they have yummy food, many new things to try, meet other kids etc.. They have one stuffy animal, and that is their only comfort thing at sleepaway camp. I also deposit many money at their account, so they can buy something at store. I also send them care package box and letters which they are excited for to open and share with peers. All these add up making sleepaway camp so much fun to them.   They are both extroverts, love to make friends, and their excitement for summer camps overcome their anxiety and overstimulation possibilities.

I never deny that they are special need kids, and they both have ASD and ADHD. They just do not need any special accomodations with summer camps. I like one PP suggestions to list they do not need any accomondation and check off the boxes of their diagnosis. [/quote]

Wow that sounds exactly like the DSM-5 criteria for autism! [/quote]
