Quick question so I don't end up being mentioned as a SG

Well at lease anymore then I already will be. :D: My family and I are headed down to WDW in about a week and our son has been diagnosed with aspergers which is a form of autism. I was planning on getting a GAC card to allow him to have a quiet place to wait since he does have trouble with long lines occasionally. We were not planning on using this unless it became a problem with him since some days are better then others we were looking at it as insurance. My main question is how does this work for rides who does it get shown to and what is the process?
Any help in advance would be greatly appreciated. Also thanks for all you do I work in law enforcement and we get our own list of stupid people tricks but I can't imagine the ones working at Disney.
Thanks
Travis

Well think I found the answer so I guess I qualify as a SG after all. :(

I don't think that you qualify at all. SGs do not seek knowledge! :p:
Welcome to the board! :)

You might want to go to
http://www.disboards.com and look at the "disABILTIES" Forum, which is about the 17th one down the list.
One of the first items there is the "disABILTIES FAQ" which gives lots of useful information and links. You can scan through for threads which might interest you. Post #6 there deals extensively with the GAC.
It is a moderated board just as SGT. Anybody can read anything, but to post you have to register. Also, if you register it will keep track of when you were last on and bold all thread titles that have been created or updated since you were last on and even know which post in each thread you had last seen.

Nonsense about you being a SG.

As far as your GAC goes, what I always tell people who ask: If you go to Guest Relations and be really honest, they will get you what you need.
This reminded me of a child I met with Autism a few months ago... I may have already posted it here, but he was the highest functioning I have ever met. He made eye contact with me, and at the end of our talk I offered my hand in a high five and he returned it.
Probably one of the most memorable kids I will ever meet. :)
