I am a solo parent of an amazing kiddo who is on the autism spectrum. We spend our days focused on coping skills, safety, and daily living tasks. Autism doesn\u2019t take a break for vacation, and transitions are difficult for my son. We have attempted vacations before, which turn into a job in themselves. Requesting accommodations, explaining autism, and answering questions for people who have a certain perception of autism, gets tiring. Autism can be invisible, so sometimes we are judged when we ask for accommodations.\u00a0<\/p><p>Now that my son is 12, he realizes that he is different. He would rather not attempt a vacation at all than to risk feeling unsafe in an unfamiliar place, or to be embarrassed. The last time we took a short trip we spent our entire time in the hotel room due to meltdowns, rather than sight-seeing and experiencing the trip as we had intended. It was draining and we couldn\u2019t wait for it to be over.\u00a0<\/p><p>I look forward to being on a trip where my son isn\u2019t isolated because of his autism. I love my family, but they often do not understand. It will be refreshing to have people there who understand and can help advocate on our behalf. I am in tears writing this because, finally, this feels like this may be a REAL vacation for us. This is really a dream come true. Also, autism is expensive, especially for a single parent. We would not be able to afford a trip or accommodations like this without the grant from the foundation.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4cfb097 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4cfb097\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">-The Moore Family<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donate HOME Donate Donate Today and Make Families&#8217; Dreams Come True The Foundation welcomes donations to our General Fund from the Public, Corporate Sponsors and Private Foundations.
