When our little guy was first diagnosed with autism it didn’t feel quite right. We were expecting the diagnosis, we thought he was likely to be autistic, but it felt like that wasn’t the full picture. I was still grateful for the diagnosis, because we needed recognition of the difficulties he was experiencing in order to get him the support he needed in both healthcare and education.

There are some elements of autism that he definitely experiences, and autism is a spectrum, so we just put it down to that! In addition, as we learnt more, we realised that sensory processing differences could be explaining some of the anomalies, like him loving bright lights and loud noises for example. We just thought he was a sensory seeker!

However, one day we went to an autism friendly cinema session, and all of the other children sat still throughout the whole movie, whilst our little guy ran around, including going to sit with other families, moving seats several times, running up and down the stairs and managing to get behind the cinema screen!! 🐒

I was baffled, and when chatting about our experience to a friend she simply said - that’ll be the ADHD mate!! 🤯

So thank you Beck - as soon as you said that it just made sense - you were right - and I honestly don’t think the penny would have dropped if it wasn’t for our chat!! 😂

Beck’s a superstar by the way, she has 4 boys all with additional needs, and also fosters and runs her travel business from home around the chaos of family life! There isn’t anything Disney or SEN related that she doesn’t know! Grateful to have you on my team for all things travel and SEN, and we must catch up soon inbetween school runs, hospital appointments and annual review meetings! 🙌🏼🌻🐭🏰✨💕

It’s the Monday of all Mondays! The Monday after the long Christmas break! 😭

We’ve woken to more snow, so the one that was due back at school this morning is now going in later than normal at 10.30…and we pick him up at 1.30! 🫠

And the other has an inset day! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thanking god that I don’t also have a “job” to juggle at this point!! 🙏🏻

How’s your Monday going???

Daily action = daily progress 🙌🏼

It’s the perfect time to start! 👌🏼

We have 365 days - make every one count! 📆

Some goals seem overwhelming, but if you break them down into daily activities, remain consistent and accountable you’ll achieve much more! ☑️

Just remember why you’re doing it, and where you want to be by this time next year, and that will help to keep you on track!

But be kind to yourself too, be realistic with your plans and enjoy it!

“Trolling is when someone posts or comments online to ‘bait’ people, which means deliberately provoking an argument or emotional reaction. In some cases they say things they don’t even believe, just to cause drama.”

One of my reels seems to have attracted a few Trolls on Facebook! The result is it’s had 2.7 million views, 24.4k likes, 1.2k comments and 102 shares! 🤯

Lots of lovely people replied to put the Trolls in their place before I even realised what was going on! 🙌🏼

And I’ve gained almost 2000 lovely new followers overnight, many of which are on a similar journey to us, which is amazing! 🌻

I just wanted to say that I hope none of the comments have upset anyone, they certainly don’t bother me - these people either want to deliberately cause offence, or are simply uneducated, naive or ignorant, and I’m ok with that!

So thank you to the Trolls for helping me to reach more people that needed to see my reel for various reasons, because the other comments show how amazing the autism community really is! 🥂

Hi! Welcome to my page! I’m Kat, wife to Ed, and lucky Mum to two gorgeous children! I’m a self-confessed travel addict, and love to escape our great British weather at every opportunity! When we had our children, I was worried about the cost of travelling as a family of four in the school holidays, but always hoped we would find a way to make it possible! Then our youngest was diagnosed with autism, which made our already very busy lives even busier, and made it difficult for me to make time for my NHS career. When I realised that I could change things completely by working from home in travel, I jumped at the chance, and never looked back! I have replaced my NHS income, whilst working from home around the chaos of our family life, and absolutely love giving other people the same option. So if you would like to find a way to improve your current situation, to enable you to earn more from the comfort of your own home, around your current commitments, drop me a message or an ✈️ emoji in the comments, and let’s have a chat to see if this might help you too! ✨ #welcome #welcometomypage #welcometomyworld #welcometomylife #welcometoourfamily #autismmum #autismmummy #autismmumsrock #autismfamily #autismfamilies #autismfamiliessticktogether #workingmum #workingmums #workingmumlife #worklife #worklifebalance #worklifebalanced #worklifebalancegoals #worklifestyle #family #familytime #familylife #familygoals #familyfirst #familytravel #familyfun #familytrip #familyholiday #familyadventures #familymatters

Last month I was asked to write an article for TTG Media! TTG (Travel Trade Gazette) was established in 1953, as the world’s very first weekly travel trade newspaper and today, TTG Media continues to deliver authoritative travel industry news and educational features in a monthly magazine in the UK & Ireland to travel agents, tour operators, tourist boards and cruise lines. Like most companies, TTG Media is driven by a set of values and core beliefs, including this one: “We believe the travel industry is an incredible one to work in, offering huge opportunity, and we believe embracing inclusion is key to unlocking potential and driving growth in our sector.” Honoured to have been given this opportunity to increase awareness within the travel industry, and will continue to seek out opportunities to educate others to better support families with additional needs to plan amazing and successful holidays! The travel industry definitely needs more people with knowledge and experience in this area, and it’s so good to see an increasing commitment to supporting this! Please reach out if you need any help planning your family holiday, all additional needs and individual requirements can be taken into consideration and please, please share to help other families ✨ I’ll add a link to the full article in my bio and on my stories (and I’ll save it in my Media highlight too!) @ttgmedia #ttg #traveltradegazette #travelagent #travelagency #travelagentlife #travelagents #travelagentsrock #travelgram #travelindustry #autismawareness #autismacceptance #promoteinclusion #inclusion #send #additionalneeds #autismmum #autismmummy #autismmums #autismfamily #autismfamilies #autismfamiliessticktogether #autismfamiliesunderstand #familytravel #familytravels #luxurytravel #luxuryfamilytravel #travelexpert #travelexperts #holidaydreams #dreamcometruemoment

Does anyone else do this holiday journey maths every time you go on a staycation!?! 1 hour to the airport 2 hours at the airport 2.5 hour flight 0.5 hour transfer to hotel = 6 hours total! Obviously totally not counting any delays or waiting around at the baggage carousel, because that would ruin the game!!! 🙈 Maybe next time someone should race me, like on @topgear 😂 #staycation #staycationuk #ukstaycation #ukstaycations #journey #journeys #carjourney #carjourneys #roadtrip #roadtrips #roadtrippers #roadtrippin #roadtripping #familytime #familytravel #familytravels #familyholiday #halfterm #halftermholiday #halftermfun #halftermactivities #holiday #holidays #holidayinspo #holidayinspiration #autism #autismfamily #autismfamilies #autismtravel #autismtravels

It’s a good job I’ve found a better way to fund my holiday addiction! 😜 Where are all my fellow travel addicts?!? #traveladdict #traveladdicted #traveladdiction #traveladdicts #traveladdictedladies #traveladdictions #holiday #holidays #holidayvibes #holidayvibe #holidaylover #holidaylove #livefortravel #livetotravel #lovetotravel #expensivehabit #expensivehabits #luxurylife #luxurylifestyle #luxuryholiday #luxuryholidays #luxurytravel #familylife #familytravel #autismmum #autismtravel #autismfamily #autismfamilytravel #sunworshipper #travelplanner
