Owen hasn't got a visible disability unless you count the strange way he behaves. We have a letter stating Owen is Autistic which we used in Paris but now I'm guessing we will not qualify for one in WDW. :sigh1: Without one we will basically have to split up with one adult just walking round studying railings with Owen whilst the 3 others do the rides. :(Quote:

Oh Hen! I know! :hug1: I'm just nervous that everything goes well on our trip and without a GAC it'll be such a strange holiday. Almost two parts if you know what I mean. A sort of them and us.Quote:

whew...i didnt want you bunch mad at me!
Why do I talk funny when I hang out with you guys?
You can still get a card for Owen. Take your letter to guest services. Just because his "disablity" isn't obvious, he still needs some extra assistance.
He studies railings?
Mostly railings, bridges (especially lifting ones) and railway lines. I could lose hours studying Owen studying stuff! Sliding doors are a big favourite too. Basically anything that follows a set path or pattern. No surprises or anything unexpected you see. Just how he likes it!Quote:

Yes. Excellent book. That must be the closest you could get to getting inside the mind of an Autistic person.Quote:
