Discover the best family days out in London for autistic kids
There is no doubting that London can be noisy, busy and overwhelming. On the surface it can sometimes feels very inaccessible for families with children who have hidden disabilities.
However there is another side to the city, and many attractions are doing great things to make their neurodivergent visitors feel as comfortable as possible. We are lucky to live only 25 minutes outside the city, and have been determined to share as much of this amazing city with the boys as we can.
With lots of research, some careful planning, sheer determination and some deep breaths we have taken the boys to over 40 of Greater London's best tourist sites, museums, gardens, parks and playgrounds! I'm sure there will be somewhere just perfect for your family to discover too.
