My dd6 has an undiagnosed brain disorder, which means she has some learning difficulties, some mobility problems and some communication problems as well as being registered as partially sighted, but none of this would be immediately obvious by looking at her.
I have decided we will rent a double buggy for her and dd2, even though she can walk, she has never been on her feet for more than a couple of hours in a day, and she has balance problems (i.e. she couldn't step up a curb or over something without holding onto something). I was thinking of getting a GAC, in case that would help with getting her seated near the front at shows as she would not be able to see characters on a stage from the back of the room.
After reading some threads on DISboards I was just a bit worried about other people's reactions to people with non visible problems getting 'special treatment'. Can you reassure me that it will all be fine, and I should go ahead and get a GAC? We went to Disneyland Paris last year, and I was worried about the same thing, but we didn't have any problems at all. What have other people's experiences been with children with similar problems?
TIA.
