I am so glad we just went for it. DS 3 ASD was not scared of the plane and found it very exciting. He was a little over excited but he was fine. I've noticed a lot more people looking at him now- when he squeals and makes faces although he is only 3 his behaviour does not really match his age iyswim.
He adapted really well and really enjoyed it. We took rice milk and GFCF snacks with us. We risked the hotel food open buffet- tried to pick anything that had no obvious milk/gluten in and put peptizyde on it. Had no bad effects.We took just the basic vits with us.
DS really enjoyed swimming in the hotel pool (although it took about 10 mins to persuade him to go in) and he also loved walking in the shallow lagoon. There were also other children with SN at the hotel and resort-Olu Deniz as its quite flat and has gentle shallow waters. I dont know when we would be able to go again or how easy it will be to take him later on so Im glad we did it now.
