my 8 yo has very recently been diagnosed with a sensory processing disorder and anxiety. His therapist has also suggested an evaluation for ADHD. We're still learning about these in general and how to help him in "the real world" at the moment and now our trip is coming in 3 weeks, so I am very nervous. When we were there in 2014, he had very few meltdowns, which we chalked up to young overtired child having a tantrum, but they have increased exponentially recently, which is how we came to Getting him into therapy and finding all this out. I have browsed through a few of the boards and it seems there's a lot on physical disabilities, but I haven't seen much on SPD or anxiety specifically. I know there are lots of Disers who have experience navigating the parks and I was hoping for some tricks and tips to help our trip go smoothly. Or if you could point me in the direction of something I've missed I would really appreciate it. Thanks so much!
