Be kind and be mindful it’s everyone’s Christmas
- festive lights might be “pretty”, but can be overwhelming too
- allow your self or autistic loved one some “me” time if you have load of people
coming over
- don’t hug someone with autism if they don’t enjoy being hugged
- bare in mind some of us have sensory issues with food were not being rude or deliberately “fussy”
- decorate at your own pace
- avoid Christmas food shopping at the busiest times such as the weekend
- relax Christmas doesn’t have to be perfect
- small surprises are okay, but nothing big or over whelmimg
- play Christmas songs at a normal volume, and not all day
