I've talked a lot about having an autism-friendly Christmas. Part of that is keeping kiddos occupied without being overstimulated, right? Right. So, let's talk about sensory activities! They're my favorite! I enjoy digging my hands in as much as the kids do.
Remember: some kiddos will enjoy these, while others won't. Don't force activities on anyone and remember that every single person (neurotypical or neurodiverse) is different. 🙂
