Travel Tips for ADHD and Autism Families [Parenting Neurodivergence Series]
Family vacations often bring up images of relaxation and bonding, but for families with neurodivergent children, they can feel stressful, frustrating, and even impossible. Many parents find themselves torn between the desire to create lasting memories and the fear of overwhelming sensory experiences or meltdowns in unfamiliar environments.
This struggle is all too real for both parents and therapists working with neurodivergent families.
On this week’s episode, we’re looking into the world of travel through a neurodivergent lens, offering a fresh perspective on how to approach family vacations. We explore the concept of "sensory cups" and how understanding this framework can transform your travel planning. From rethinking traditional vacation spots to discovering hidden gems that cater to neurodivergent needs, this episode is packed with insights that challenge conventional wisdom about family travel.
For therapists, this episode provides valuable tools to support clients in expanding their comfort zones and building confidence in new environments. And for parents, it offers a roadmap to turn potential vacation pitfalls into opportunities for growth and connection. We discuss practical strategies for advocating for accommodations, creating positive associations with travel, and celebrating small victories along the way.
Tune in to discover how reframing your approach to family vacations can lead to more joyful, less stressful experiences for everyone involved. Whether you're a parent looking to plan your next trip or a therapist seeking new ways to empower your clients, this episode will equip you with the knowledge and inspiration to make travel more accessible and enjoyable for neurodivergent families.
The Zero Disturbance podcast is for educational purposes and is not a replacement for a therapeutic relationship or individualized mental health or medical care.
What You’ll Learn:
1. How to plan trips with a focus on minimizing transitions to manage sensory overload for neurodivergent children.
2. Strategies for building positive associations with travel and vacations for neurodivergent kids.
3. Tips for advocating and requesting accommodations at airports and other travel venues for children with autism or ADHD.
4. The importance of choosing destinations and accommodations that align with a neurodivergent child's sensory needs and interests.
5. How to reframe expectations for family vacations to focus on what works for your neurodivergent family rather than traditional vacation norms.
6. Practical tips for managing sensory challenges during travel, such as using sensory tools and creating quiet spaces for decompression.

    This could have been better described as how to relax about helping your EMDR clients choose a topic. It wasn’t for people seeking to choose their own EMDR topics, and it didn’t actually help with how to choose a promising topic (and avoid less promising ones.)

    Nice information to know. I did EMDR and I don´t know yet about these grooves but it´s already better. (I just took three sessions and it´s recent). It makes sense. To put a metaphor when you go to the gym many times your body is fit without the gym even if you go without it for few weeks. Or like learning a new language, after sometime you can fly solo.

    Thank you. As someone who recently discovered they have aphantasia it is nice to be seen. As a mental health professional, EMDR trained, it was surprising to me, as well, that I hadn't heard of this. I thought I was dumb. Aphantasia interferes with so many typical things like learning, navigation, sequencing, memories (lack thereof), and most assuredly, visualization. Neurodivergence is all around us, it is important to remember that we are all different, just like we teach children when they are young, and different is BEAUTIFUL.

    Let me ask a question- I get emdr addresses past beliefs of the negative cognitions of I don’t matter or belong or good enough from childhood trauma. What if the person currently has no teeth/dentures and feels not good enough or they matter because of the lack of teeth. To me the emdr can address the past but won’t do anything for the lack of teeth right now . The lack of teeth triggers the childhood traumas. Would this person be a good candidate for emdr?

    A lovely discussion of the value of neurodivergence. I had excellent teachers; kind, compassionate and engaged. They never said "stop doing that" instead they'd say "must try harder." I could be wrong, but I think that's worse; no guidance on what to do or not do, instead, whatever I'd do wasn't good enough. However, I was hyperfixated on computers, way ahead of all the other students and teachers. I could absorb information on computers like a sponge and make use of it in useful and novel ways. It would have been so uplifting for someone to tell me that was my superpower! Ms Evans, you have a compelling vision for the future! I hope your future does without the DSM and moves to a more adaptable model.

    Yes! How do we disambiguate the traits of trauma and neurodivergence? Do we even need to? Are the treatments the same? When we're traumatised by our neurodivergence, what do we do? When we're traumatised by other childhood experiences, is neurodivergence a help or a hinderence? How might we change the support we give kiddos in the light of their neurodivergence? The only thing I'm sure of as a late-diagonosed AuDHD person (who thought my behaviour was all about my own trauma), is that if we make the world work more easily for neurodivergents, we make it work more easily for everyone.
