I'm thinking about bringing stuff other than electronics to bring for the lines (even though they might only be 20 minutes so given the DAS, that is still a challenge) for my ckid. He's 8 and has anxiety and autism, but is an honor student. lWe'll likely no stroller (so we have to carry whatever we bring), and too much electronics tires him out (because he'll obsess over them) and he gets seizures. So toys are better.
We'll be there a lot of days and he does best if we vary what we give him. He also picks on his scabs and gets infections (which trigger seizures), so his hands need to be busy in anxiety situations.
(Sometimes, it feels like our whole life revolves around avoiding seizures. )
So far, I've come up with a notebook and crayons in a plastic baggie (cheap, throwaway if it does get wet), a Rubik's cube, his fidget cube, and his chew terry cloth around his neck.
But what else non-electronic do you bring into the park for your kids? It must be easy-to-carry and inexpensive in case he loses it (because he will).
