The Autism Travel Podcast

Welcome back to the Autism Travel Podcast. I'm taking a shift with things and rather than speaking about very specifically how I can help you travel I want to inspire you to travel with your autistic child by sharing all the emerging autism travel news! There is a lot! I'll try to keep the episodes under 10 mins so you get the news you need. All the articles that I reference are in the show notes if you want to read further...

This episode I wanted to give you some inspiration from an adult on the autism spectrum that travels the world.

My guest is Shalese runs her Instagram account and details how she travels the world and pays attention to her own personal cues.

We've talked about how you can travel, why you can travel and where you can travel.  This week on the podcast we are talking about now that you've decided to travel, how outside of myself, that you can get some support while you are traveling.  Of course, you leave the planning of the trip and the booking of the trip up to me and we work together to make this trip happen with as little stress as possible.  But now im...

Vacation or Epic MOVE! Should you travel with a child no matter what age with autism?  Kids with autism thrive on set schedules, and vacations in new places far from home compounded with the stress of flying, strangers, new smells, new sounds can cause discomfort and disrupt routines.  What is the point when your child is so used to their daily life?  Why bother to stress them out with the packing and social stories ...

Planning vacations of any kind involve a lot of research. After all, your goal is to go on vacation your whole family will love! However, the hours upon hours of emails, phone calls, and looking up just one more thing is enough to make you want to skip the vacation planning period!
​
Of course, once you think of all the autistic meltdowns, toddler temper tantrums, juggling luggage, and maneuvering around new destinations, the...

Today is the last day of The Special Needs Travel Podcast.

I'm moving away from the Special Needs Travel podcast to come to terms with my ignorance with ableism and to better represent WHO I serve. ⁣⁣As much as I want to help those with other disabilities I know there are other accessible travel advocates that do a better job at who they serve, unless you really want to work with me ...

Jenn Llyod of Sick Girl Travels on my podcast today.  I personally don’t have any experience with traveling with a chronic illness and I have been wanting to learn more about this topic.  Especially because I might encounter a client that has a chronic illness I may need to consider just like I have to consider my own diet when traveling with Pre-diabetes or the heat at certain destinations when I work with a client...

World Prematurity Day was created on November 17, 2011, to raise awareness for the millions of children every year who are born prematurely.

The travel and tourism industry focuses a lot on the caregivers of small children with autism and children with autism but we often forget that those small children someday turn into adults with autism.  We have to remember that autism doesn't disappear once the child with autism matures into an adult with autism.   More most certainly needs to be done to better support adults with autism as well.  There are sti...
