ADRs and dining with special needs

[loadsapixiedust]

Just read this post in the dining forum and wondered if any other Dibbers had found ways to help them cope with special needs when dining

Interesting point on ADRs

Concierge have booked our ADR for us today and we've got everything we wanted so I'm very pleased

However, in case this can help anyone else, you can have a note put on your ADR if you have a medical condition or similar that makes it difficult for you to wait a long time past your ADR before being seated. I have various medical conditions and am on various medicines that I have to time exactly to when I eat and a note has been made on my ADRs to request I'm seated in a timely manner due to my medical conditions.

I always try and make our ADRs for opening times of the restaurants which usually means little waiting.

I'm also going to take DS2's MP3 and headphones so he can listen whilst waiting if we have to.

I have small laminated cards, that I give to the CM's, my son has a serious eating disorder which makes meal times a real strain, by doing this its easier than having to explain myself in front of everybody . Same with DH, being deaf he cant hear or lip read americans(accent), so again, this helps us and the CM's.
