As autism enters the national conversation, we urge leaders and communities to recognize the urgent challenges -- and the critical lack of support & safeguards -- for individuals with autism & their families.

💙 Many autistic children experience rumination (repetitive or negative thoughts) that can feel hard to break. A few gentle strategies that may help:

✨ Redirect with a calming activity or sensory tool
✨ Stick to predictable routines for comfort
✨ Use simple, reassuring language
✨ Partner with therapists for individualized coping strategies

At Special KidZ Sensory Gym, we believe small steps add up. Patience, consistency, and support can make a big difference. 🌈♾️
