Summer can bring both exciting opportunities and big changes in routine.

For many autistic individuals, predictable schedules can help reduce stress and support successful transitions. As summer begins, consider creating visual schedules, keeping consistent daily routines when possible, and preparing for upcoming changes in advance.

Small steps can help make summer more enjoyable and manageable for the whole family.
