Asking for your help, please.

You will be helping us, somewhat, and the community, greatly, if you’ll share your opinions with us below.

When we meet with travel industry executives, our objective is to give them some insight on what is needed in order to make travel more autism-friendly. Their frequent response is to ask “is there data to back this up”.

By answering the questions in the very brief survey below, you’ll be arming us with that data. We will be able to tell those execs exactly what the community wants in order to make travel easier.
