Many autistic children experience emotions deeply, but may find it hard to label or express them.
Building emotional language helps them feel understood and more in control.
Here’s how you can start:
🃏 Use emotion cards – visual tools bridge the gap between feelings and words.
📚 Read picture books together, connect stories to real emotions (“He’s sad because he lost his toy, have you felt sad before?”).
🗣️ Model feelings – saying things like “I feel nervous too” helps your child see emotions as normal and safe.
