  • Hi, I don't know if you have tried allowing your son to help plan out using technology what he wants to do whilst he is there at blackpool or ask him to look up a place he wants to visit nearby. allow him to take a portable device with him to play on the journey and take it with you whilst your there as well for those pit stops along the way.

    We have ended up visiting some strange, interesting and wonderful places we didn't even know existed, but since he searched for the place using his tech he was happy.

    If you do go to places like Blackpool and are visiting some of the attractions there ring ahead before you go and ask if they have any information for children with autism about the attraction this can help alot. Helped us get through manchester airport the staff were fantastic we received a blue wrist band to let staff know that we have a child with autism in our party and may require extra assitance, they allowed us entry through the fast track section in security so we did not have to wait in the queue squished with the other passengers which would have been very stressful for my son.

    Im only just starting to realise that for a child with autism the world is a very very noisy scary place.
