Today brings together ๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ธ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐, ๐ง๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐น ๐๐ฎ๐ and ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐น๐ผ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ผ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐๐ต ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ ๐ฎ๐ โ three linked celebrations of imagination, community and the comfort of having โyour thing.โ ๐
For many kids, especially autistic kids, deep thinkers or those whoโve always felt a bit different, niche interests are more than hobbies. ๐๐๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฐ๐๐, ๐ถ๐ป๐ณ๐ผ๐ฑ๐๐บ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ป๐ด, rewatching the same movie ๐ฌ or having ๐ผ๐ป๐ฒโ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ can look unusual to adults โ but these behaviours are ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ด๐๐น๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด, ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด, and often the first bridge to friendship.
There will always be someone else who loves that same oddly specific thing. ๐ซ
At EduCare, we help families understand these interests and use them to support learning, communication and emotional wellbeing.
