Traveling with kids can be both exciting and exhausting, no matter their age or neurotype. But, for some kids, there are other things to consider when traveling.

And that's where these autism travel resources come in handy.
Below you will find various tips, strategies, printables, and resources for supporting an autistic child while traveling.
