This is the most carefully thought out step by step for dealing with teaching and learning from an autistic childs parent perspective. Kudos for finding a way to communicate and deal with this child’s unique barriers.

THAT’S why i’ve always been so attached to stuffed animals, favorite items of clothing, etc. a combination of hyperempathy and having trouble dealing with change. that’s why i struggle with passing down favorite shirts/sweaters once ive outgrown them.
