Nik @tartan_nik @ellevogueandme I think, with the right strategies in place, anything is a good idea! Don't let Autism
stop these experiences :-)
elle Vogue @ellevogueandme @tartan_nik what are those right strategies ?
Nik @tartan_nik @ellevogueandme that depends on each individual. Communication - explaining in terms they understand (symbols, makaton, timeline?) Sensory..
Nik @tartan_nik @ellevogueandme sensory - going when it quieter, getting queue jump passes. Trying to stick to key times - mealtimes, bedtime.
Nik @tartan_nik @ellevogueandme prior to the activity researching facilities they have, speaking to child/adult introducing Disney. What do they expect?
Uniting Autism @UnitingAutism @ellevogueandme It depends on youre child. Its hard to say a kid with autism because everyone is so
different. I would bring extra help
Leslie @les24d @ellevogueandme yes! DW very ASD friendly. Tell them ur child has autism &they give u a pass=2a fast pass
so u dont have 2 wait n lines
Leslie @les24d @ellevogueandme http://disneyworld.orlandovacation.com/articles/special-needs/guests-with-autism.php
Lena @hunnybunz75 @ellevogueandme How well does the child handle large crowds & loud noises? To be honest, we waited til
ours was much older.
Janice H. Rash @Jrmom24 @ellevogueandme If you try it, and I am all about trying new things, you MUST get the fast pass to avoid wait in lines!!!

Nicole Stewart @jerseygirl0611 @ellevogueandme my daughter loves her Bilibo. And trampoline too #sensorywonderland
Elle Vogue @ellevogueandme
@jerseygirl0611 I just ordered Bilibo for R from Amazon , thanks for the response !
Leslie @les24d @ellevogueandme right now: trampoline, but I really want to get him a sensory swing &i think that would bump the tramp.out of 1st place :-)
Leslie @les24d @ellevogueandme I have a friend who got one from Ikea http://m.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/spr/19809351/
Leslie @les24d @ellevogueandme they can go indoors, I have seen some that anchor to a doorway or on the ceiling
Janice H. Rash @Jrmom24 @ellevogueandme Finger paint...kids can squish it, move it around,follow premade patterns, learn colors, learn color mixing, be creative

Becky Hallberg @BeckyHallberg @angelsnest777 @ellevogueandme Some answers from FB friends: 1.Jokes/Tricks make us laugh/feel good;
lying makes other person feel badly.
Becky Hallberg @BeckyHallberg @angelsnest777 @ellevogueandme 2.Lying is to get out of trouble/get out of responsibility; jokes for
showing happiness/making someone happy.
Becky Hallberg @BeckyHallberg @angelsnest777 @ellevogueandme 3.Intent behind joke=2make someone laugh. Intent behind lie=cover up
Educative and Informative Discussion between BeckyHallberg and JenTroester
Jen ?@JenTroester @BeckyHallberg have you tried turning it around and asking how he would feel? Easier for our kids to
think in those terms.
Becky Hallberg ?@BeckyHallberg @JenTroester It's still a new concept & we'll keep working; just curious what others had tried - 'cause
we'll try anything! :)
Jen ?@JenTroester @BeckyHallberg yeah, K doesn't care much unless she doesn't earn, say, iPad time ;)
Becky Hallberg ?@BeckyHallberg
@JenTroester but I want to keep it from turning into an all-out "lying fest".
Jen ?@JenTroester @BeckyHallberg yeah, we are huge with reinforcements.
Becky Hallberg ?@BeckyHallberg @JenTroester Sure does help! He hates when he loses a privilege - meltdown waiting to happen!
Jen ?@JenTroester @BeckyHallberg have you tried turning it around and asking how he would feel? Easier for our kids to

Becky Hallberg ?@BeckyHallberg @JenTroester to some extent, yes, & it works except when he lies. Then he tries to brush it off like it
wouldn't bother him.
Jen ?@JenTroester @BeckyHallberg is it a daily issue? Can he earn something preferred for not lying, not earn it if he
does? We do earned things a ton.
Becky Hallberg ?@BeckyHallberg @JenTroester It's not daily, no, really just a brand new issue we're noticing & trying to head off b4 it
becomes a daily issue.
Jen ?@JenTroester @BeckyHallberg the visual part of the autism sometimes responds to that. As opposed to us just telling
her. It's hard, I know!
Becky Hallberg ?@BeckyHallberg @JenTroester ooh - yes! That's good! We've done visual cues for other things as well.

@JenTroester Reinforcement might be a great way to tackle this. He's still "exploring" how we'll respond
& his answers are never malicious,
