A member asked:
What are some challenges may an autistic child face when going on a long car journey?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Travel with autism: It depends on the severity of the autism. One challenge is being cooped up in the car for a long period. Being in a coonfined space may make a child nervous. If there is a language deficiency, letting you know a bathroom break is necessary or a fook break is needed. In the confined car, it may be difficult comfort a child having anxiety or behavioral difficulty.
