What’s in My Bag: Holiday Overstimulation Edition
It's the holiday season, which means lots of fun things, but also a lot of schedule changes that can cause a lot of dis-regulation for the kids in your life. With that, I want to share with you the things that I always keep in my bag to help regulate my neurodivergent kids when we're out to dinner, at a holiday gathering or any other event. I like to keep these things in a separate small bag and I have one in my church bag, diaper bag and an extra so that I can put it in any other bag that I take. I also do my best to rotate things in the bag so that they don't get bored of the same items.
Organizing My Autistic Daughter’s Toys
I'm currently building wall to wall built-ins in my daughter’s room. She is autistic and one of her special interest is toys. She has SO many little figurines she collects and knows and plays with each of them. I'm building this so she has a place to keep all of them and we can still stay organized. I want to go over how exactly I'm organizing all the stuff to best fit her needs, so today we are going to sort, label and dejunk her room.
