Traveling with neurodivergent children requires specific strategies, but it's entirely possible and rewarding when you understand how to support their unique needs. • Mindset shift is crucial - see behaviors as brain differences, not deliberate disruptions • Prepare thoroughly by discussing travel plans and showing destination videos beforehand • Create personalized toolkits with noise-canceling headphones, fidgets, and familiar snacks • Allow movement breaks in airports before long flights regardless of others' opinions • Consider using the sunflower lanyard program which signals invisible disabilities to airport staff • Implement calm-down techniques like tracing letters on your child's back during meltdowns • Be cautious with melatonin use as it can increase tantrums in some children • Travel builds confidence by bringing history to life and nurturing specific interests • Give neurodivergent children input into activities to increase their engagement Remember that you're never going to see these people again, so focus on your child's needs rather than worrying about strangers' judgments.
