Basically, she's a mini Sheldon.
Only with a sunny disposition.
Will she enjoy camping?
Only one way to find out I guess.

I know nothing about autism.

We hired a cabin at the foothills of Mt Baw Baw a few years ago

But need to plan it around school holidays.
Does a cabin in a Big4 caravan park with a jumping pillow constitute for camping?
Truthfully, I've never been proper camping.
Brilliant...
you have to start somewhere and thats exactly the spot whereby you have a lot of safety nets...
jumping pillows... indoor heated pools...
can't go wrong..
well...almost..

Definitely something to ponder.
My little girl deserves a proper holiday.
All kids deserve a holiday.
Safety is central to wherever we go.... nets, cameras etc.
Big4-have some amazing parks with decent off-peak rates.
So who cares about the cold if u rug up properly and have access to a heated pool?
Sounds like a plan.
Thanks.

my girls are in their second half of their 20s...
they still talk back to the days we took them on holidays...
usually some strange shit that makes them laugh... like my youngest non stopping chopping the wood...
the time they went to a campground pool whereby all the fat live in women were wallowing in the pool like hippo's and that the pool was so dirty they could not see from one end of the small pool to the other... gross...
just silly stuff...
feeding kookaburra's bits of sausages off the veranda of our holiday house...
my daughter took her daughter to the Grampians a couple of years back... went to the Zoo... great!! ...
jumping pillows... pool... mini golf ...
she still wants to go back again as the memories are so good...

Exactly Mechanic, this is the very stuff childhoods should be made of and its up to me to make this happen for her.
We will get there.
Just need to decide where.
So many beautiful places to go.

I think that they have another name for them in the states Gordo...
although big 4s don't have them...
but here in australia they are mainly harmless....

I was working with autistic and mentally challenged kids a couple of years back... I was driving for them...
they were so great (mainly)
if they came off a farm they'd give you eggs..
always full of great advice...
"Andrew, don't forget, don't drive on the driveway of this house" (Thanks Jake)
they can get emotional and don't even know why... but the right people can talk to them and show care towards them and they react and calm down... amazing thing to see... and others react to what they've seen... (Marion, will you look after me when im sad too?)
just luffly....
