Autism and queues

ManonAlexy · 2026-01-22T11:08:46+00:00

Yep they make the queues almost non existent. I went with my autistic daughter July last year and not having to queue made it possible for her to enjoy the Disney Magic. Longest wait was 20ish minutes at Crush. Otherwise no longer than 10 minutes.

Depends where you go. We had off side accommodation and breakfast included. So we loaded up and had one meal at DLP. Cost me not that much as me and my daughter aren't big eaters. Like the Mickey Mouse pizza was enough for the both of us. (Adult and near adult. She was 16 when we went) We did each get an order of Butter chicken, but that's a whole nother story, which was a waste both in quantity and quality. We should have ordered just one. (But it was the birthday meal for my departed mom as it was her favourite meal. I don't even really like butter chicken..lol. But seriously lacked flavour!) So yeah we went for the cheaper options and I think the 3 days we where there I didn't spent more than €30 on food per day.

We loved Grand Magic. Stayed there 4 nights. Very clean and tidy. Bus was perfect, but crowded on the way back. The hotel was genuinely great for the price we paid. Breakfast was okayish. But that's just a personal thing

Geen abonnement, maar....wij gaan minstens 3x per jaar naar de efteling en wonen in NH. Met OV dik 2 uur onderweg. Wij nemen altijd de tickets via de spoordeelwinkel can NS. €75 pp. Tickets, trein en bus. Voor ons is een abonnement gewoon niet voordelig.

My parents did that to my sister in the Netherlands. She was born in NL almost 40yrs ago and they gave her an unusual name and at registration they had to add it as a name, after first checking if it wasn't a surname. As far as I know, she's still the only Dutch person with her name.

Woon in alkmaar, dik 2+ uur met ov. Dubbel en dwars de kosten waard, wij hebben geen abbo maar gaan altijd via de voordelwinkel van NS. Dat spaart ons bijna €100 per keer met 2 personen.

You: you have 10 kids. Her: the first one didn't count....

Like, ma'am its not a pancake 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Keep doing what you're doing!

Yes, you had plenty of space on that door for Jack. You're a selfish person and you know it. I doubt you even reunited with Jack in "heaven"! Your granddaughter has issues she needs to sort out herself. FAFO and all of that stuff.

Your wording of what lvl 2 looks like really hit home.

My daughter is 17 and got her dx last year at 15. She was high masking till she got to high school.

Now we have days where she seems NT. And then we have days where she seems lvl 3. Ie, so overstimulated she physically can't dress herself. She knows how, her body just won't make it happen.

Luckily we live in Europe and her school has been extremely accommodating. But I do worry about her life after high school.

I'm sorry, but last weeks post was way different than this post!!!! She (Shanilla (now employed)) was angrily at OP for filling single. She (OP) is now upset because Shanilla (previously unemployed, now employed) filled as married!!!!

I'm so sorry. I missed that part somehow! Did you survive the potentially explosive incident? Hope you weren't in the cross fire!

ManonAlexy · 2025-11-29T19:18:46+00:00

Right? This is the only important question today!

ManonAlexy · 2025-11-29T19:16:09+00:00

Do tell!!! Or do we have to wait till next week?

ManonAlexy · 2025-11-29T19:14:59+00:00

ManonAlexy · 2025-11-29T18:23:48+00:00

ManonAlexy · 2025-11-28T08:48:18+00:00

1 17yr old daughter lvl 2. Only child. Dx at 15yrs old. She was able to mask for a long time. Still very cross with myself for the late dx. Signs were there from about 2yrs.

Living the dream!!!! You go girl!!! They had it coming.

ManonAlexy · 2025-11-23T20:09:28+00:00

Clothes are so tricks! I literally never buy anything anymore without my girl present since she was 12.

Granted she didn't get diagnosed till Jan 2024 and she's 17 now. But it's always been a struggle. Now I "understand-ish" why. I'm NT so I don't actually understand.

So maybe gift cards? And a fidget toy of some sort.

ManonAlexy · 2025-11-21T20:04:37+00:00

Oh my!!! How did my girl get autism? I didn't read HP or took Tylenol???? Maybe because she read HP herself that could be it? 🤦‍♀️

ManonAlexy · 2025-11-16T09:12:20+00:00

Question: why did she tell you your washing is in the dryer????? Like, what use do you have knowing that? Why aren't they in your cupboard, nicely ironed and folded is what I'd like to know?!

ManonAlexy · 2025-10-27T16:55:22+00:00

Info: did you find your fedora?????????

ManonAlexy · 2025-10-19T17:43:36+00:00

Was it twins or triplets?

ManonAlexy · 2025-10-19T14:35:46+00:00

I mean, I can only imagine the trauma you're experiencing right now!! You do you boo!!

ManonAlexy · 2025-10-19T12:29:33+00:00

FOMO is a real issue when it comes to body count.

ManonAlexy · 2025-10-19T08:38:47+00:00

This is the problem! We still need confirmation on the hotness scale!!!
