Managing Autism - A Personal View

We’ve written before on the importance of a person with autism having routine in their life, and today we were reminded of it in no uncertain terms!!!

After a really busy week, this morning we let our guard down a little with schedules and meals, and boy have we paid for it!  We have ’suffered’ with increased anxiety, noise, aggitation, whining, arguing, and aggressive behaviour.

When we are following a strict daily routine and menu plan, we tend to forget what it is like on ‘the other side’.

So we have again decided that ’spontaneous’ is somewhat dangerous and can really send us all a little crazy!

Long live routine!!!
