Even learned a few things about traveling for myself, lol. I’m very much a nervous traveler, and some of your tips will help next time I’m at Pearson for sure. 🙂

I have a friend who has a special needs daughter and she feels like she can’t do much…. and this will be pretty helpful for her, maybe get them out doing more!

When my autistic son was younger I made sure that he stayed close by because he could get overwhelmed pretty fast.

I love your tips and I do think that “expect the best but plan for the worst” is great advice.
