How do my #ActuallyAutistic comrades feel about going thru the airport? Sensory hell? Too many moving parts? A fun & exciting part of your special interest?

In my latest #AutisticTravel blog post I cover the venerable Hanoi 1988 Sao Vang in #Paris. Without a doubt the best Pho I’ve had in Europe, the restaurant is also a great setting for #ActuallyAutistic foodie diners to unwind and enjoy.

Had a lovely lunch today with my partner at Han Lim in #Paris5 thanks to the wonderful recommendation of @JoBlakely (thank you 💙)

Not only was the food delicious, delicate, and expertly done, the restaurant is a fantastic space for #ActuallyAutistic foodies, being quiet, dimly lit, and ample space being given between tables. The owner and his family are exceedingly gracious, courteous, and friendly and help round off the experience.

We had the traditional veggie pancake, their house chicken (sautéed, not deep fried) in garlic, and Bulgogi.

Sichuan dried beef, cold noodles & cold dumplings at at Deux fois plus de piment in #Paris11. For my #ActuallyAutistic comrades who are sensory seekers and who love spicy food, check it out! Try to go during non-peak hours to avoid the bustle. #AutisticFoodies #AutisticTravel

Some fantastic Bibim-guksu (Korean spicy cold noodles) at Manna in #Paris15. If you’re a sensory seeking #ActuallyAutistic person who loves spice and #KoreanFood this is for you!

Do my #ActuallyAutistic comrades enjoy Pho? Got to enjoy the best in #Paris at Hanoi 1988 Sao Vang in #Paris4. They don’t offer you typical Vietnamese pho take away, but truly authentic Northern Vietnamese takes on the beloved dish.

@AutisticCoach_@twitter.com Awesome! When you're in Greensboro, NC highly recommend Pho Hien Vuong and Seoul Garden, both have low lighting and easy ordering, with a few booths toward the edges that allow for a quiet lunch or dinner even if there's a busy rush. And lunch specials every day. Closed Monday.

For my #ActuallyAutistic comrades who travel on airplanes & find the airport overstimulating & stressful - don’t have to travel this way! Most airlines will walk you thru check-in, security, passports, all the way to the gate, You just need to book ahead of time. #AutisticTravel

Good morning #ActuallyAutistic comrades! Traveling the world as an #AutisticAdult is super exciting but also requires some extra planning. I will be sharing travel tips, recs, and great spots to visit, eat at, and enjoy with the new hashtags #AutisticTravel & #AutisticFoodies

@actuallyautistic Oh, since people will be travelling again in a few days, just so you know... you can skip security lines in the majority of airports by going to the family/express type entrance part, and stating 'i'm autistic, can i use the family line please'.

Then, when you get to your gate, you can go to the gate agent and state "I'm autistic, can I board before everyone else please".

The answer will be yes in most cases, or a "oh uh, er, are you okay to fly?" in some cases (the answer you give is "yes, i just struggle with crowds and queues").

They will *not* demand medical proof. And your journey will be vastly improved.

I have also successfully used this tactic at the checkin desk to get last minute seat relocations on full flights to ensure no-one would be seated next to me.

YMMV with the little people carrier folk if you find the actual airport overwhelming. I was told "we have people with disabilities to attend to" when I asked for a ride once when very very overwhelmed.

Also, a lot of airlines have a one-fare-only policy, so if you have a medical diagnosis, you can fly your emotional support human for free in a lot of cases!
