centerparcs and kids with asd. anybody got any experience?

[pillsthrillsandbellyaches]

i'm wondering if anyone can even give me some advice about what works for them on holiday, and what doesn't.

or is it too difficult to even bother?

my ds is 3 with asd, and my dh feels that a holiday in strange surroundings would be too difficult, but i feel this is so defeatist! (i'm probably being too naive)

we also have another son who is 5 (nt) and i dont want him to miss out.

Should add, when I go with the family it has always been during August, so a very busy time. But most of the time the children hardly noticed that there were lots of people around, as on non-arrival/departure days most places are not that busy. Peak busy places are the Plaza/Swimming pool changing rooms. But as the children want to go swimming, they seem to accept that.
Everyone's child is an individual, so how your own children will respond may be completely different. You won't know until you try. Once you have tried going to a place and do find that the children settle, you will be going back every year.
