My son will go on such a trip his senior year. He has autism, started his schooling in special education, then transitioned to gen Ed over time. He’s independent in school now as a freshman taking honors classes. He has his quirks and social difficulties, but he’s generally well liked, gets invited to birthday parties, plays sports badly, etc… He definitely likes his routine and is a rule follower. If anything, he’ll keep his peers on time for check-ins. He’s been through thousands of hours of behavioral therapy and self regulates pretty well. He’s gone to camp the last three years with his peers and he’s done fine.
