It’s now been over 7 years since our last family holiday to PERFECT Switzerland. Switzerland is one of the most beautiful countries on the planet. Perfect for relaxing. Perfect for adventure. Wonderful food and drink. With its precision perfect public transport, no need for a car. Friendly. Polite. Safe. Cultural. Healthy. I could go on and on. But there is another reason that it’s PERFECT for our FAMILY. Asperger/Autism Families often find travel difficult. Ours most definitely did. Holidays can be a logistical nightmare. For an enjoyable holiday, so many factors often need to be carefully controlled. Routine is important. Does Hawklad feel safe, relaxed, happy. He needs so many factors to be in place to enjoy a holiday. It’s so easy for things to spiral out of control and you end up just wishing to be back home. Back home to that safe, predictable and controlled environment.
But here’s the thing about Switzerland. He is always happy here. Yes the trip part way across Europe by plane or train was usually a nightmare for Hawklad. Yes a logistical nightmare which needed precision planning. But every single time we crossed the border into alpine heaven, he was relaxed and happy. Everything seemed to be in place for him and worked just right for him.
He can’t wait to go back.
I can’t wait to go back.
Yes, to our family, Switzerland is PERFECT.

Children like Hawklad are primed to seek what so many place less of a premium on – peace, quiet and space. They’ve got it right.

Such gorgeous pictures, Gary! The one of the giant moon is wow! And love the one of the two cows dwarfed by the alps behind them.
I can imagine how traveling can be a logistical challenge for all involved but it must be so worth it. I truly hope you two find yourselves back in Switzerland one day very soon!

How did you get the beautiful picture of the moon so clearly? Mine always looks like a small blurry dot. 😆

It was just a with a zoom, not a big one. Just sat and watched the moon slowly change colour. It was an amazing experience.

That moon photo is stunning, Gary! Switzerland is beautiful with all its nature and mountains. But not everything is roses over here too. For example, there are 26 different cantons. There is not only the federal law but an individual law in each of the cantons too.

Sadly I know. I read the online Swiss news. But it is so much better than the UK. Way better.

Maybe it can change but not until we get people who care running the country again. Until then, it’s dreams of Switzerland.
