Global Families: How these parents show their autistic kids the world
I am snowed in from work today and started exploring some articles about how families travel. I currently work with families and I noticed something very interesting about the ways our moms view travel. While finance plays a factor, it's often the belief that their children prevent them from having mobility. These are of course real barriers, so I decided to try and find out how other families do it.
To that effect, I have been trying to find resources and narratives by parents who travel with their children - especially young children. In my research, I found this fantastic article highlighted on MomsRising.org a couple of months ago titled "Traveling With an Autistic Child in Holland, Italy, France..." about two parents who have chosen, rather unconventionally, to travel the world with their autistic son. It is a fantastic piece and I highly recommend it! Please make sure to check our the links provided in the article.
When thinking about traveling with your kids, a good place to start is to see how other families have done it. In addition to the info above, Circle of Moms have a list of travel blogs written by parents. Some of the parents have small children while others focus on going abroad with teens. There are families of various sizes and perspectives, so if your a parent who wants to travel, you have a lot of options for insight and guidance. You can even follow some of these bloggers on facebook (ex: TravelingTek) to get additional tips.
