When autistic or neurodivergent children engage in repetitive behaviours, it is often their way of regulating a nervous system that feels overwhelmed. These actions are not misbehaviour. They are communication.

At CARE, we help families understand the need behind the behaviour and support children with compassion, sensory tools, and emotional safety. Because when children feel understood, their bodies can begin to relax.

The Sibling Perspective

Growing up with an autistic sibling shapes childhood in unique ways.
It brings empathy, patience, and understanding, alongside moments that feel confusing or heavy.

At CARE, we honour siblings as part of the autism journey. When siblings are supported and included, families grow stronger together. 💙

The Weight of Worry

If you are parenting an autistic child and feel like you never fully relax, you are not imagining it. Constant planning, protecting, and anticipating become part of daily life. That kind of care runs deep, and it can be exhausting.

At CARE, we remind parents that their wellbeing matters too. Looking after yourself is not
a luxury. It is part of sustaining the care your child needs.

You are not weak for feeling tired. You are strong for carrying so much with love.

Eye contact is often misunderstood as the measure of connection.
For many autistic children, connection shows up differently.

It may look like shared space, parallel play, trust, or quiet presence.

At CARE, we recognise connection in all its forms.
Because meaningful connection is felt, not forced.

Why Autistic Kids Love Routine

Routine is not rigidity. For autistic children, routine is safety, clarity, and calm.
Predictable rhythms help reduce anxiety, support emotional regulation, and build independence over time. When children know what to expect, they feel confident enough to engage with the world around them.

At CARE, we use routine as a tool for empowerment, not limitation. Because structure helps children feel safe enough to grow.

Parenting an autistic child shifts the way we measure success.

Progress becomes calmer mornings, safer transitions, and moments of connection.
Peace becomes something worth celebrating.

At CARE, we walk alongside families as they learn to notice the quiet victories that matter most.

When autistic children line up toys, it is often misunderstood.

This is not a lack of imagination or engagement.
It is a way of creating predictability, comfort, and control in a world that can feel overwhelming.

At CARE, we honour all forms of play.
Because play does not need to look typical to be meaningful.

Inclusion does not happen automatically. It is learned through understanding, modelling, and gentle guidance.

When children are taught that friendship can look different, they learn to respond with empathy instead of confusion.

At CARE Johannesburg, we support all children in learning how to connect with kindness and respect.

Because real inclusion teaches children how to be good humans, not just good classmates.

The Fries at 1am Club
If your autistic child suddenly craves fries or toast in the middle of the night, you’re not alone.

Sensory eating is common in neurodivergent children — it’s not about defiance, but regulation.

Crunchy, salty, or soft foods help some kids soothe their nervous systems after a long day of noise, textures, and social demands. These late-night cravings are comfort-seeking moments, not misbehaviour.

We teach families to listen to the message behind the behaviour. Sometimes, a 1am fry is just the nervous system asking for calm.
