Lesson #107: Make sure you take food that your very picky asd kiddo will eat to the family dinner. Otherwise he will either throw a fit because he is hungry, or hide the whole evening. Although he might hide the whole evening anyway.

To add to #107 (kind of): Do not forget the supplies if you travel! That includes extra snacks of what your lo will eat and/or pump, tubes, bags, formula or shakes, diapers, ostomy supplies and catheters (mostly for E), special autism gear, meds, wheelchairs (if used off and on), braces, crutches, rollators, etc. I've caught myself many a time going out the door without a catheter and supplies and a snack. I need a list!
