My son has Aspergers and we are planning our first foreign family holiday this year. His teacher mentioned how effective picture stories can be for children with ASD when facing new challenges/scenarios, and she suggested we might want one for my son to help him cope with the airport, having never been to one before. She suggested a software package that you use to create the picture story, but I wondered whether anyone else had any similar resources that they could share/point to, that might help, rather than me reinvent the wheel. Also, any strategies other parents have found have helped and also for coping with a hot environment. My son struggles in the heat and immediately feelsoverwhelmed by it. We'll be in an air-con apartment with a pool, but I'm sure there will be plenty of occasions when he will find it tough. We could just not go, but feel that's unfair on his siblings who are desperate to go and feel that they miss out on lots because of their brother. Thanks in advance for any advice anyone has.
