Wow, another blog site! Do we really need another one added to our already overloaded brains? Maybe. First let me tell you a little about me. My name is Shelly and I love to travel. I am also raising a son with autism who often travels with me. You are probably thinking “great, you like to travel with your son… big deal!” Well actually it can be a big deal. Traveling with someone on the autism spectrum is no easy feat. I have chosen to jump in feet first and see how things go and for the most part my son has done quite well! So, I figured I would use my experiences to help other families who would like to travel with a child on the autism spectrum but are not as brave as I am.
My goal is not just to talk about my excursions. What I would like to do is highlight specific types of travel adventures that may be more “autism friendly.” I would love to highlight our experiences with flying, cruises, and others form of travel. I would like to also write about how people in other countries received my son and his differences. I would like to give a few tips that could make traveling more accessible to parents and caregivers who just think it is not possible.
We have done quite a bit of traveling so far and I will write about those experiences to begin with. Later, I will take you all with us as we journey into the great unknown! I hope this will encourage and help others explore with their children on the spectrum, even if it’s just a “staycation” in their own hometown! 
Thank you for following us on our many adventures!!!
