Hey there, it's Debbie. Parenting neurodivergent kids can be messy, lonely, and overwhelming,

but it does not have to be. This is why I created the differently wired club, the very first

membership community of its kind. In the club, you'll get a lot of access to me. I go live in the

club of four to five times a month to answer your questions, to share insights, and just hang and

being community together. I'm also in the private discussion boards daily, and that is a great

place to get feedback on those sticky things that you're dealing with. I'm in there every day

because this is truly my passion, helping parents like you feel connected, supported, and empowered.

So if you're ready to make real shifts in your

parenting journey, I hope you'll join us in the differently wired club. Go to tiltparenting.com

It brings up a lot of things I've given thought to and consideration to over the years.

And I also know this is a topic that impacts many listeners. So here's the question.

Our nearly five-year-old, no formal diagnosis yet, but most likely autism, is really tied to his routines.

And this creates challenges for our family, especially when it comes to vacations.

It typically takes him about a day to adapt, and then he seems to be doing fine, but he's only willing to do things he wants to do, which obviously impacts everyone else in the family.

Then when we get home, it takes weeks for him to readjust to the rules and routines of our household.

Do we need to just not travel?

Traveling and vacation is really important to my husband and me,
