Connection starts with presence. For children with autism, being seen, heard, and understood can make all the difference.

One simple way to build trust and connection: physically get on their level — sit, kneel, or crouch so you’re at eye level when speaking or playing.

This small adjustment:
• Shows respect and attentiveness
• Encourages engagement and communication
• Strengthens the sense of safety and belonging

✨ Try it today and notice how your child responds.

Autistic children communicate connection in many different ways.
Sometimes it’s through shared interests, routines, quiet presence, or feeling supported and understood.

This Valentine’s season, let’s think of “love languages” as ways children experience safety, trust, and belonging.

💙 Save this post as a reminder that connection looks different for every child.

Every day, children with autism try to connect in ways that aren’t always obvious. Sometimes they:
• Stay on the edge of a group, observing quietly
• Share something small, like an object or gesture
• Attempt interaction in their own rhythm

You can be the bridge between their world and the group:
1. Notice them first — even a smile or nod shows they’re seen.
2. Include without forcing — invite, don’t pressure.
3. Adapt your pace — match their rhythm for a moment.
4. Celebrate small gestures — acknowledgment is validation.

💡 Remember: Belonging grows from consistent small actions, not grand gestures. Each time you notice, adjust, or include a child, you’re actively building a space where they feel safe and valued.

Today, choose one small intentional action to help a child feel included. Share what you did — your example might inspire someone else to be an ally too.

A kind word, a shared laugh, or simply being there can create moments of trust and belonging that last far beyond today.

Let’s carry that warmth into the week and remember: every connection matters.

Fun Fact Friday: Research shows that simply interacting with acquaintances (“weak ties” like classmates, neighbors, or other familiar faces) is linked with greater feelings of belonging and overall wellbeing — even more so on days with more of these everyday contacts.
This includes people who may not be part of someone’s close circle but still help them feel connected to the world around them.

🔍 What’s interesting for autism? Studies exploring autistic adults’ social lives found that both casual and meaningful interactions — not just close friendships — contribute to connection and can support wellbeing.

💭 Connection doesn’t always look big — it can be small, familiar moments that help someone feel like they belong and are part of a community.

What small connection today (a smile, a hello, shared interest) made you feel a bit more connected? 💬

Belonging isn’t about “fitting in.”

For many children with autism and related diagnoses, belonging can look like:
• Being understood without needing to explain
• Having routines that feel safe
• Being accepted even on challenging days
• Connecting in their own way — at their own pace

When children feel they belong, they’re more likely to engage, communicate, and build confidence.

Belonging isn’t a reward for progress — it’s the foundation that makes progress possible.

February is a month to celebrate the ways we connect, support, and care for one another—through the relationships that help children and families thrive.

Strong, trusting connections are essential for children to feel safe, confident, and ready to grow. Here are practical ways families and caregivers can strengthen connection and support every day:

• Listen and validate: Pay attention to children’s words and feelings—they notice when they are truly heard.
• Create predictable routines: Consistency builds a sense of safety and trust.
• Celebrate effort and progress: Recognizing small successes fosters confidence and resilience.
• Collaborate with professionals: Sharing insights between home and therapy helps children feel supported in every environment.

When children feel understood and supported, they’re more likely to explore, learn, and build lasting skills.

As the month comes to a close, it’s worth pausing to reflect on what it offered — even in subtle ways. Growth doesn’t always look dramatic. Sometimes it shows up quietly, in awareness, patience, or simply getting through.
