Disney World Autism and Cognitive Accessibility Guides and Tips

Published 2023-02-26
My dream is to go to Walt Disney World in Florida some day so I have been researching Disney's cognitive accessibility guides. In this video I share some of the information that they have in their guides and some of the services they offer for people with accessibility needs, as well as relating this to my own tips and experience of autism and disabilty.

Hi, i'm millie!

I am autistic and ADHD, and I'm trying to leave the world in slightly better shape than when I found it. I am working towards this goal by focusing my life energy and experience as disabled and neurodivergent into disability advocacy work.

If you like what I am doing and would like to support me to be able to continue doing it then any contribution, however small will help make that happen, and you will help me get closer to my dream of a society that is more accepting and appreciative of neurodivergent people and people with disabilities.

Thank you.

    Thank you so much for this video. I am on the Autsim Spectrum as well and I have wanted to go to Disney World one day but after thinking about it I decided to just never go. After finding this video though, I feel like I will be able to go again
