Each of those struggles are familiar to me, Sherri. Based on my personal experience in dealing with some of those same behaviors, you shouldn't have any trouble obtaining a Guest Assistance Card. To do so, you'll just need to head to Guest Services upon entering the theme park (each of the parks have one). Speak with the Cast Member about your son's limitations. Be as specific as you can. A doctor's note is not necessary, but might be helpful. Based on what you tell the Cast Member, he or she should be able to provide you a Guest Assistance Card that specifically addresses your son's struggles. Do keep in mind that the Guest Assistance Card will not function as a FASTPASS. Rather, it may give you the option to wait in line in an alternate place so that your son will be better accommodated. I can tell you that my family no longer uses a Guest Assistance Card because we don't find it to be that helpful. When my daughter was younger, we used one because it would allow us to use our stroller as a wheelchair and that was very helpful. Nowadays, we find that making smart use of FASTPASS and taking frequent, short breaks are helpful touring tactics when it comes to visiting Disney with a special needs child. I hope that your trip is a huge success, Sherri! And don't hesitate to ask me any further questions if I can be of assistance.
