Hey there. You can try to get a supervisor at the resort. Tell them she is a companion animal. That may help. I'm not sure how old your son is, but I have an 11 yr. old son who is mildly autistic. I know that when he was younger things were hard to always explain to him, but I do think you would be better off allowing your parents to pet sit and just keep assuring him that she is alright. Sometimes if you feed into the fear it's worse. There are quite a few great books out there about autism that I've read. I'm always researching. If ever I can help you out with anything pls. feel free to PM me. I may not have the answer but I've been through it with my little guy. Elaine |
