Research Overview and Aims
Family holidays are often viewed as a highlight of the year: precious times to make memories, have fun together and bond with each other. They can, however, be particularly stressful experiences for children with autism, as well as for family members accompanying them. Most previous research on family holiday experiences has, however, assumed that the family members are ‘neurotypical’. Through our research we want to change that by exploring the holidaymaking challenges faced by children with autism and their families.
Our research seeks to:
- Better understand the needs, complexities and challenges of families with children with autism, prior to, during, and after returning from holidays
- Understand how family memories can foster socialisation and bonding within the family
- Make recommendations for the tourism industry (airlines, hotels, airports, attractions, destinations and local communities) to better embrace neurodiversity to improve the holiday experiences of families with children with autism.
