131. The Unpleasantries of Transitions

Transitions refer to changes that occur in a child's routine or
environment, such as moving from one activity to another,
changing locations, or starting a new school year. Transitions
can be challenging for many children, but they can be especially
difficult for autistic children.


There are many reasons for this that I talk about in this
episode. -Executive functioning -Difficulty with flexibility
-Sensory processing issues -Communication challenges -Anxiety


There are several types of transitions where autistic individuals
may struggle. Changes in routine, switching from one task to
another, changes in their environment or location, and new social
situations.


Social settings have always been challenging for Jordan,
particularly if he is expected to interact with unfamiliar people
or navigate social rules.


Transitions can be challenging for autistic children due to their
difficulty with flexibility, sensory processing, and
communication challenges.


So what can you do to help them be more successful?


Come along with me as I share some strategies you can try in this
episode.
