    A fantastic, informative course which opened my eyes to the amount of possible pressures which may be placed on the autistic child and their wider circle over Christmas. Thank you so much for all advice and tips shared to enable a less stressful Christmas for all. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

    10 xmas challenges to ASD kids

    I think it's quite a challenge to ASD people as they don't like a big fuss abt anything , so Xmas becomes a big deal & it's always a challenge when it comes to deco & special foods, hopefully this time around it'll be a quiet time(usual faces). Thanks to Lynne & Schudio TV for the presentation. You always make us feel at ease.

    Autism and Christmas free version

    Thankyou for such a sensitive and practical guide to this years festivities both in school and at home. Forewarned is forearmed. I found many of your points applied to myself during the festive season. I am secretly glad to be at my own home in a 3 person bubble. The whole Christmas thing' is overwhelming to an autistic child of primary age and I wish I had had your tips and advice earlier in my teaching assistant career. This year may even be more overwhelming as the festivities and hype have started earlier than usual. I much prefer to listen to the voice of the speaker as I find it less pressurised than having to sit in a room full of others and take notes. I can pause, consider, rewind to listen again to points again and listen to the course at my own speed and time. Thankyou for another brilliant and informative course. I always recommend you to colleagues.

    Excellent very interesting listening.. I have learnt a lot of things even though I don’t work with an autistic child I can see why the child I work with has some of these difficulties and I can now support him in many of ways, so thank you. Stay safe and have a merry Christmas.

    Autism and Christmas

    I found this course very informative and it makes total sense as to why autistic young people and adults find Christmas time, and the run up to it such a struggle. I am really interested to see how our more vulnerable children will cope in school this year with things being so different due to Covid. I am hoping that it will be a much calmer and fun time for them with less demands such as Christmas plays and pantomimes etc.

    I found this really interesting and have taken notes back to my class teacher to consider for the child I support. An experienced TA, but new to a 1-1 support role, there is so much I haven’t thought about and would never have imagined Christmas being potentially difficult. Thank you.
