Burning Man

[gfish]

I made it, after about 23 hours in the truck. (Including naps and the 4 hour crawl to get from the road to the site, thanks to the dust storm.)

I'm at 7:20 and Impala, mountain side. Avalanche truck and giant Interstate trailer with solar panels on the top. And, hopefully by this afternoon, a wind turbine.

Y'know...from what I hear of how some people act at Black Rock I doubt any weirdness on his part would be noticed. I'd be more worried about sensory overload.

A tent wouldn't work but what about a yurt? You can even put one on the back of a pickup truck. ;-)

I don't think organized daycare would be possible without several buses/RVs and some families willing to "swap off" watching the children.

As for screaming meltdowns from experience I find that a matter of communication. Autism plays hell with the communication lines, (I know from first-hand internal experience), and you misinterpret everything if it doesn't fit your "framework". It's one of the top things I find parents with autistic children have a problem with - they can't find a way to find a path through the "mental noise" the kid suffers from so can't address the child's wants and the child gets upset. :-/

This is just side-notes BTW not a commentary on you or your child. I'm apologize if it came off that way.
