I am looking for advise on how to help my cousin and her son who is 8 or close to 8 and autistic. They will be attending the wedding and reception. I am just looking for suggestions on how to help make him comfortable at the wedding. I was thinking of setting up a small area where they can go by themselves if he gets overwhelmed(crowds do that to him easily, and there will be about 50 people there total). He doesn't like strangers, but he LOVES my daughter and being around her. They are good friends and I am somewhat close to my cousin. I do plan to consult my cousin on anything I can do to help make it easier on them. Yes I know it's not required, but I know if it were the other way around I would sure appreciate the thoughtfulness and care about my child. Also it is at a state park, so they can even go off hiking or wandering if needed to help him cope. He loves to be around nature. Just looking for any ideas others may have.
