London Travel

Mumof2ASDGirls

Hello everyone

I'm hoping someone here might have experience/knowledge of this and be able to help me.

I am wondering if there are any services you can book that will take autistic families to the theatre in London (not Uber.. lol). I ask because I have 2 autistic girls, who love the theatre, but the act of getting there and back is so stressful that the night is tainted and turns into a memorable occasion for all the wrong reasons (panic attacks and emotional outbursts/meltdowns). Taxi's are not a viable option financially, but the train and walking through the crowded streets, with rickshaws blaring out loud music, crowds outside pubs and smells of cigarettes etc are just all too much.

  • Hello, and thank you for your question. There are a few different ways that you can go about this. One option is to look into hiring a private car service specifically for autistic families. There are a few companies that offer this service, and it can be a great way to avoid the stress of public transportation. Another option is to plan your trip to the theatre around off-peak hours. This can help reduce the crowds and the overall noise level, making it a more manageable experience for everyone involved. Also, I remember when I stayed at [link removed by mod], they hired a company to transport autistic clients from the airport to the hotel. You could reach them and ask for the contact of the transportation company.
