Hi, firstly is it true as my eldest has autism we can 'queue jump' at theme parks?
Both of my boys are nagging me to take them to Thorpe Park in the Summer and a friend told me I could get a letter or something which would allow me to take them straight to the front, the eldest with Autism hates and I mean hates waiting in line and just annoys me and everyone around him, if this is possible I will be forever grateful! secondly, he has just been diagnosed with rheumatism, at 18! I was totally shocked firstly they thought he had joint dispaclier but now they have decided its rheumatism and he has to have injections, (thats gone down like a lead balloon!) I know its a strange question but is this related to autism or just one of those things?

Thanks everyone xx

Hi Netty,
Just found this on the NAS website,

http://www.autism.org.uk/living-with-autism/out-and-about/holidays-and-d...

Thorpe Park has a special guide for visitors with disabilities. Discounted tickets are available for people with documentary proof of disability and up to two helpers. Visitors who are unable to use normal queue lines may be able to receive preferential ride access, as may a helper who is boarding the ride with them.

Hi,
Just another thought.. I would suggest calling them before hand just to clarify arrangements as some of the Theme parks have special places that you have to go to to get the paperwork checked out :)
