Holiday article from the Indiana Resource Center for Autism, and a Max update
As usual, Max is looking forward to Christmas this year. Hopefully MyGuy and i can prep ourselves mentally to put up our living room tree - tt means so much to Max, but the most initiative he'll take in getting it up is to wish us "Merry Christmas" out of the blue.
However, he has two small trees up in his room. One is a new, 4' prelit one, which he is enjoying.
It seems in a sense especially important to keep this tradition in this year of universally lowered expectations.
The IRCA has prepared their usual article
of tips to help us help our children on the spectrum cope with the upcoming holidays. https://www.iidc.indiana.edu/irca/articles/making-the-most-of-the-holidays-for-your-family-and-your-son-daughter.html
Here's a short quote listing some items to be sure to mention:
- Where and How Christmas Dinner Will Occur
- Who Will Be Present at Christmas this Year
- How Family Will Meet Virtually This Year
- Where the Family May or May Not Be Going This Year: In other words, what family traditions cannot happen.
- If Others Come Over, Rules about Wearing Masks, and Other Safety Precautions.
At the end of the article are links to specific tips, including social stories about home and visiting, and a fill=in calendar.
