❄️We know this time of year can be overwhelming and stressful for everyone, especially our autistic friends. Here’s some tips to help out! ❄️
-Use visual aids such as calendars, lists and schedules to help plan your Christmas and show what will happen that day.
-Have a quiet space where you can take a break if you get overwhelmed.
-Think about ways you can enjoy this season that work for you and your family – don’t feel pressured into doing things just because that’s what other people do.
-Think about and plan around sensory difficulties that could cause you distress or discomfort, such as the addition of noise-canceling headphones or a soft blanket to cuddle.
