Having an adult child with autism we use a wheelchair for him to keep him from bolting into a crowd. We like to include him on our family vacations and he really enjoys Disney and Universal. Waiting on a line is VERY challenging for us and I always need to keep an eye on him at all times...

I would also think that if an adult finds that a ride or attraction is not appropriate for them then they can make an adult decision not to go on it. Universal does have signs outside each ride and attraction posting warnings for anyone with any challenge. There are still many rides and...

It seems sad that some people are insensitive to people that have daily challenges. Needing to have frequent restroom breaks is a challenge that will impact a person's life.

When my family goes to Disney we go to guest relations. I do carry a letter from my son's father primary care provider stating his needs. Disney never asks for a diagnosis. From what I understand the third party that is screening documents are an autism site. How can they determine if a health...

Thank you for your response. It is very frustrating. My son's father also has health issues that prevent him from waiting on long lines. He also travels with a wheelchair as he cannot walk for long distances. Universal Studios is asking for a letter from his primary care provider as well. I...
