Happy Mothers Day! 2014

I had a wonderful Mother's Day. We went to Universal Studios in Orlando. We had to prepare Tyler a head of time and try to make him as comfortable as we could about going. He had a few meltdowns and panicked moments. We decided to go to guest services before we went into the park. We explained to them that we have a child that has Autism. We had his diagnosis from the doctor on paper, but they said they didn't need it. They gave us an Attraction Assistance Pass. It was a big help. - 
If the wait time for a ride is under 30 minutes they let you go through the express lane. If the wait time for the ride is more then 30 minuets they give you a time on your pass to return. That way Tyler is not waiting in line and his anxiety stays low. It worked out perfect. We tried to get him to ride each ride, but he was very nervous and panic was setting in. My husband and I took turns sitting with him when the other boys went on the rides. His brothers, Brandon and Sean, had a blast! It was fun to enjoy the day with all of them and have fun. Tyler did ride one ride!!!! That was a huge step for him and I was so proud. It was a hard day for him being in such a crowded place with so many sounds and everything going on. I know it was a sensory over load for him. I am truly proud of him for trying as much as he did. :)
