We just found out that my beautful 2 yr old niece has been diagnosed with autism. About a year ago they started planning a once in a life time Disney vacation for October.

Darling niece is not talking etc. At first they thought, because she is an only child with little social interaction that she needed social stimulus so they started taking her to a day care/preschool twice a week. Long story short they have tried all doctor recommendations.

I think they still plan on going to Disney. Any suggestions, recommendations words of encouragement etc. that I can pass on that might help them. I am sure they will still be trying to come to grips with the diagnosis. Also, I don't think know much about the illness.

I know I probably sound like I am rambling....I also do not know much about the illness. I have no idea even what to ask..........

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
