Several Christmases ago, our family, which then included a five-year-old and a three-year-old, decided to take a road trip up north to see our extended family members. We had made the drive before pre-kids, and thought, “how hard could it be?” We knew that if we made good time, we could get there in two ten-hour stretches, so we counted on leaving in the middle of the afternoon, driving into the wee hours, then doing the same thing the next day. This way, the kids could nap, we could stop for dinner, and they could settle back down and sleep. [...]

If you have a child with a food allergy, you know that even the most mundane of outings require some planning. My daughter is allergic to crustaceans (shrimp, lobster, crab), and I always have to carry her epi-pen, ask about how foods are prepared in restaurants, and scan ingredient labels even for items that you would not think contain shellfish.

Recently, one of my friends traveled by plane with her two children, one of whom is on the autism spectrum. She was a bit nervous beforehand, because she was afraid that additional screening, such as a pat-down, while a fairly remote possibility, would trigger an outburst from her child.
