From what I read it seems like DAS is geared more towards autism and that's where I think Disney has failed BIG time my son has an invisible disability. Looking at him you would have no idea he only has one kidney; his kidney disease makes him easily fatigued. He's also non-verbal but not autistic so he isn't going to understand us explaining to him why there is an 1 hour wait for a 90 second ride.
I'll admit this trip is more for our daughter her life has been turned upside down since his birth but I want him to enjoy it as he can as well.
Hi just wanted to say that,
I've gotten the DAS a few times and I do not have autism. ( I'm a mother of 3) with a illness that effects my wait in the line, at certain times, due to medical needs.
There are times when I do not technically fall under the DAS qualification, as treatment is different like below...
I have to take medication at certain time of the day, and it makes me feel incredibly sick. I have had to schedule my fp+ around those times, as I have to go back to resort to take the meds. I feel that this would be similar to you, you could schedule your fp rides around his feeding and taking his blood pressure, like people with diabetes do.
Another quick note was you say your son is non-verbal but not autistic. Then you say but he won't understand why he has to wait for a ride? Why is that? " is there a medical reason at all" that is what you would have to explain to GS, Not the diagnosis but why your son would nor understand why he has to wait.
My children when they was younger didn't understand having to wait in line either, I'm sure most children don't want to wait in a long line for such a short ride.
My oldest has aspergers and we had to teach him to wait, just like his brothers, as much as it was possible! then his brothers had to learn that when the oldest didn't want to do a ride, then they would have to que.
You will not struggle with getting a stroller as a wheel chair, but a DAS I feel will be far more difficult if you can not explain why a wheelchair/stroller doesn't fit his needs.
