Yes, there is a dinner cruise in Destin where you can take a 14 year old with autism. A teen with autism would do well on the Sandestin Destin Fine Dining Dinner and Dancing Cruise, because there is predictable seating and less audience interaction, which helps reduce stress. Many autistic teens are sensitive to overlapping music, announcements, and crowd noise, so the outer area on the 2nd level is helpful because the music is kept lower for conversation. They can still enjoy the water views and stay close to the family, though the cruise lasts 3hrs, so their comfort with longer outings and live music is still something to consider.
