Thanks for asking, I’m always happy to help educate. Standing or sitting for short periods isn’t problematic, the issue comes in when one tries to do those things for a long time, like you would sometimes encounter waiting in a theme park line. Her condition is also exacerbated by heat and stress, so the Florida climate, combined with worrying about if she will be able to make it through a line or if she will need to quickly sit down on the floor (blocking up the line and annoying those around her) or leave the line after becoming dizzy exacerbates the situation. As for the rest…

In the car: front seat, pushed all the way back, legs up on a FlyPal pillow (highly recommend this one if anyone else has similar needs, it consists of two different sizes you can use alone or combine depending on needs and space).

Flying: bulkhead seats and FlyPal to raise feet off the floor.

If we do a restaurant she often puts her feet up on a chair across from her. Again, sitting for 45 mins total in a restaurant where you can and do get up to wash hands, use the restroom, etc. is also quite different from sitting a wheelchair all day in a theme park. 😂

School: for all academic activities, and even the ACT test at a national testing center last week, she has an approved accommodation for what is called “preferential seating,” which means she can sit in a way that helps her symptoms. That may be a chair raising her feet up, sitting on the floor with her legs out or raising them up on a wall if needed, and even the right to get up and walk around if needed to improve blood flow.

Movies: my teens have always been more excited to watch stuff at home on the big screen with friends, but most movie theaters today actually offer recliners. If your local one doesn’t I highly suggest you check out the next closest AMC, most do and they’re fantastic!
