We travelled with our autistic nephew, and his mom (my SIL) is a goddess about planning things that make his days terrific.

We sang a lot of songs if he got frustrated. We got carryout at CS and ate together under a tree or in the shade somwhere. We made frequent trips to Tom Sawyer Island so he could have some space and run around. He really enjoyed pool time for a break.
And when we watched parades, we sat at a spot where we could move away if he was ready to go!
