[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 547212, member: 3419"] I agree, that the medication helps. That is, if difficult child isn't too ramped up to agree to take it. :) We've taken our difficult child on lots of vacations, but honestly, it would have been more fun with-o all the drama and anxiety. I am glad to say that he has been a lot of places, though. The other thing that helps is to have a friend or relative along so you can go on separate rides or eat separate meals, when necessary. My husband took difficult child on Men in Black in Fla (can't recall if it was Universal or Disney) about 10X. I went once I think. I can't do a lot of motion or I get sick. So I went to the Lucy store with-easy child. It worked out really well. If I hadn't had husband, I wouldn't have gone. Period. Choose your battles ... and your vacations. :) P.S. I also showed my difficult child our hotel online, where I could do a room tour. He used to spazz out, not knowing what the bldg or rooms looked like. He also needed to know whether we were transferring flights and if so, how many times. He's much, much better now, but again, planning ahead is worth all the time and effort. [/QUOTE]
