Autism does not define me. It's only one side of me
If I'm withdrawn, it's because my senses are either on overload or need waking time
Distinguish between I can't and I won't. If I can't comply with something if often means I don't understand. Speak directly to me.
I am what is called as "concrete thinker". Expressions are a challenege. Example "it's raining cats & dogs" would be taken literally
My vocabulary is limited, be mindful of my body language to illustrate how I feel
Visual prompting with instruction is crucial. You may have to tell me many times
Focus on what I can do rather than what I can't do. Positive reinforcement is mant times more efficient than negative reinforcement
Social responses are difficult, please help me with appropriate responses
Don't constantly remind me of preconceived expectations you have that I have not achieved. Love me unconditionally
