TravelTalkMEDIA’s Sandy Dhuyvetter said, “I was inspired by a recent article published in Autistic Globetrotter that highlighted Jordan as an ideal location that warmly welcomes families with autistic children. Activities like walking, exploring and eating healthy delicious foods make Jordan idyllic for visiting families”.
