Pro tip: if your autistic child is playing by lining up toys or doing something repetitive, bring your own toys, assume a reasonable distance, and play happily and silently. Use sparkly toys, blocks, cars, spinning toys, pots and pans, kinetic sand, magnets, canned food, (cont).
Stickers, dry pasta, colorful dough, etc. Try something new if it doesn’t work the first time. Make a craft. Spin something that sparkles. Meditate and quiet your mind. Find contentment in not worrying, fixing, controlling. Let it all go and stare into a shiny pinwheel.
Watch the way the light bounces and bends, sending a spattering of dancing lights over your face and chest. Grab a handful of raw pasta and let it fall from your fingers and try to feel and visualize how many have fallen.
