It is far too common for autistic children to be given rote and meaningless tasks and then be expected to complete them.

These activities are often close-ended and may include worksheets, any types of copying or imitation tasks, and task boxes.

The problem with this rote work is that the skills required (whether motor, executive function, sensory discrimination etc.) may be challenging for a child. Coupled with the fact that the task may be meaningless, we are essentially setting our kids up to fail.

Instead, know a child's interests and align activities accordingly!

How do YOU support children so they are engaged meaningfully?

Let them take their time.

Rushing children teaches them that speed matters more than understanding, connection, or confidence.
They’re not “slow”.. they’re learning. Observing. Becoming.

Let’s not hurry them through the moments that build who they are. 🌱✨
