[quote=Anonymous]OP as others have said, please tell your friends. Don't isolate yourself. I recently took a weekend trip with my very good friend and my ADHD +ASD son. Because I had previously disclosed the diagnosis we had a great time. She was very willing to accommodate all my son's needs (very very similar to yours). We looked for restaurants that served food he would eat. We stopped at grocery stores to purchase backup food, we got a hotel room with seperate sleeping/living area space and more importantly, because I had disclosed, I didn't feel judged when I said we couldn't leave a venue just yet (even though we were exhausted) because my son hadn't gotten the chance to do the one thing he really wanted to and was on the verge of a meltdown over it. Instead she found a spot to sit, he and I did the thing and then we left. Judgement free. [/quote]
