Can You Help? Join the Conversation on the Autism.About.Com Forum

Sunday October 5, 2008
Are you a member of the Autism.About.Com Forum? If not, now is a great time to join in the conversation - and meet some members of the autism community. Maybe you can answer some of their questions - or ask a few of your own!

One forum member is searching for separate MMR vaccines in New York state, and so far has had no luck. Do you know of any resources out there?

Hi I need to find a doctor in the NYC area that has a supply of separate MMR shots. The dozen doctors I have called all tell me that there is a back order for everything, particularly rubella. Can anyone help me please?
Another parent is worried about managing a long flight with children on the autism spectrum. With so much recent media coverage of the issue, it's easy to understand her concerns. Have you been in her position? Any advice?
On October 25 we are supposed to be flying down to Orlando, Florida. We are staying at a rental home and touring DisneyWorld!

I say supposed to because I am very worried that we are going to experience a meltdown with somebody, maybe me, (ha ha), and get kicked off the flight. The press has been full of bad stories lately.

If anyone has any advice or nice flying with autism, or even not so bad? stories to share, I would love to hear from you!

Thanks for checking out the forum. Here's hoping you'll find some friends, resources, and new ideas.

We had a great flight to NYC today that to a) packing tons of SCD friendly food (we brought a cooler along) and b) the Leapster gameboy like game from Leap Frog. Other than being doubled charged for our bags by idiots at Northwest counter, the trio was flawless. My daughter could not have been a better passenger.
