I want to share with you what I have learnt working with children with autism . It has been an incredible journey, and I hope this post will help you understand and appreciate the amazing individuals on the autism spectrum. It is important to remember that that every person with autism is unique and may display different strengths and challenges.
# Celebrate differences #
Sensory sensitivity is a common trait among individuals with autism. Certain sounds, lights or textures can be overwhelming for them. Creating a sensory friendly environment by reducing noise or providing sensory tools can greatly improve their comfort and overall, well-being .

Working with children with autism has taught me so much about compassion , patience and the incredible potential within everyone. Let’s continue to spread awareness and celebrate the unique strengths and talents of those on the autism spectrum. Kodie Lee is a young man with autism who rose to fame when he auditioned for America Got Talent in 2019. He didn’t let his condition hold him down . He is a born entertainer.

Another aspect is the use of visual aids. Many children with autism benefit greatly from visual cues such as pictures , charts, or schedules . It helps them to understand and follow instructions more effectively, reducing anxiety and promoting independence.
# Promoting communication #
It is crucial to encourage flexibility and adaptability. Individuals with autism have specific routines and preferences . By gradually introducing new experiences and gently expanding their comfort zones , we can help them develop new skills.
# Adaptability #
We must promote a society where people with autism are accepted and included in all aspects of life. By educating others about autism , we can break down stereotypes and foster a more understanding and inclusive community. Embracing and celebrating them helps in creating a supportive and inclusive environment
# Inclusion is the key #
