@The1Oregongirl I see what you meant know, your dog is in the car with you and your overland stuff in your overland trailer. I thought you meant the dog was in the trailer which is why I seemed confused (not enough coffee yet this morning I guess lol)

Your son sounds like mine, only he is nonverbal. Super loud when excited and thrown off when he is off his routine. I am going to follow on IG from @Jrodrigues1278 and @savagecoffeetea once I get my rig started we should do an Autism friendly trip somewhere in the middle of everyone. Reality...

We would like a GS for the size and safety he could provide, but ultimately we are going to work with a organization that specializes in this type of service dog and will go with what is best for my son. His need is more important then our want.

A Trailer...Would it be possible to see what you mean?

Everyone thanks for your input on it, it’s why I asked to begin with. @Sean's #1 Pop My son is autistic and it is the reason we are looking at getting him a service dog. He is 5 and nonverbal. The hope is for the dog to provide the same bond as you described. It is also the whole point of why...

I appreciate all the responses and the perspectives; it’s why I asked to begin with. Ideally I would love him to go in the back seat with my kids, but I am just not sure he would fit. Again to be clear, I am looking to get my son a dog, we don’t have one yet. Realistically 98% of the time he...

Hi all, I have searched the forum for dog, pet, dog crate, and have not come up with anything that answers my question. My plan is to get my son a Dog, hopefully a service dog, but either way I can’t seem to figure out the best way to overland with him. Making sure the dog travels safely is a...

@Greg Eigsti that’s awesome that Joel is back on track. up until the Coronavirus, Ayden is receiving 1:1 and group speech and OT in school and then 1:1 speech and OT after school. He is I am ABA class right now with an amazing teacher and aide. We also get ABA therapy at home 6 days a week...

First I have to say that I appreciate how you guys have alagares your stories with me and everyone else. I started this thread to find some activities to do outdoors with my son as we work up to overlanding but am getting so much more then I could have wishes for. Thank you all. I am typically...

@Flying pig wow that is so extremely awesome at your son graduating. I am hopefully my son will one day be able to as well, but if he does not that is ok too. We are of the mindset that we will try to provide him the tools, experiences, and help he needs to do whatever he wants in life. I am...

@Jrodrigues1278 and @SavageCoffeeTea are mine. Second one is a business one, hopefully launching later this year.

@CTDRC wow thanks for all the advice. I see a lot of similarities in what you did and what I think I am going to do. He has always put himself to sleep since I young age. I basically tell him its bed time and get him ready and off he goes. I have been blessed that he generally sleeps through the...

That is good to hear. I have very optimistic that he will love it. Going to start with some very basic camping trip and based on how he does, grow the experience for him. I have been looking to see if there is a special “scouts” for kids like him with no success. We are hoping to get him a...

Great post. A lot of information to take in. Her is a link I found that has some additional information: https://fireextinguisherdepot.com/fire-extinguishers/how-to-choose-a-fire-extinguisher/how-to-choose-a-fire-extinguisher-guide.html In order to make sure I processed all of this information...

Much appreciated @Road ... I just followed you from my two IG accounts. I will definitely keep that I mind once I start building the rig and getIng out there!

@Road Thanks for the info! much appreciated! I converting from offroading to overlanding, and looking to build out a new JT (hopefully diesel) in the near future. Planning the rig around being able to one day travel the TAT with him.

Hi all, I have been on the forum for a while but this is my first post. I have read a ton of great information here but have not seen much on this topic. How many of the members have or do overland with children with autism? I have a 5 year old son who was diagnosed this year. He loves being...
