Autism and the Importance of Routine

Many autistic individuals find comfort and security in routines. Routines can help reduce anxiety, provide predictability, and give a sense of control. Changes in routine, however, can be incredibly distressing and lead to increased anxiety and behavioral challenges.

It's essential to respect the routines of autistic individuals and provide advance notice and support when changes are necessary. Remember, what may seem trivial to us can be immensely significant to someone with autism. Understanding and accommodating these needs can significantly contribute to their comfort and well-being.
