8 Ways To Strengthen Executive Functions In Children With Autism

When addressing autism executive function, it's essential to implement strategies that cater specifically to the unique challenges faced by children with autism. Overcoming executive dysfunction begins with recognizing the signs of executive dysfunction, which may include difficulties in planning, organizing, or regulating emotions. Engaging specialists at a kids neuro clinic can provide tailored interventions designed to enhance these skills. For instance, working closely with a pediatric neurologist in Dubai might involve personalized programs that focus on building routines and using visual aids to reinforce tasks. Incorporating play-based learning can also help children practice decision-making and impulse control in a safe environment, while mindfulness activities promote self-regulation and emotional awareness. Establishing clear expectations through structured environments further supports their understanding of task initiation and completion—key aspects often affected by executive functioning issues. Additionally, utilizing technology such as apps designed for time management can make learning these skills interactive and engaging for young learners navigating the complexities of autism spectrum disorder.

Back at it again...

I’m in at work, first time this year in the actual office! *gasp* human interaction.... One of the last times for this job actually, which is sad, the people here are awesome. Maybe I’ll find somewhere like it back home. 

Gotta introduce the new person to this job today, plus there are a bunch of new interns to show around... I hope there’s some actual work to do though, I hate having to make up stuff to do. And there’s a meeting at some point so we’ll see. 

Practicing social interaction and work functionality today, wish me luck...

work work work work work

getting back into the work lyfe is hard. I’m working from home today to try and ease back into it. I’ve been feeling extra dissociated all day, I hope a day or two of just *not*-ing will help. I practiced getting out of bed this morning... it kinda worked :P I did get up so that’s something

1 outta 3 aint bad

So cramps hit me majorly today, wasn't expecting them for a good few more days but still, got nearly all but the last little detail of the knitted gift done. That took quite some doing so I'm happy with that. I did fold some washing, but didn't do enough housework to really say I practiced doing chores. I notice that I'm being kinder to myself though. It's hard when I feel so useless, but I'm getting better. Bae really is the best, they help me so much on days like this :3

Practice learned me a thing today

I was feeling a bit shit this morning, couldn't do much more than think that I could coax myself out of bed to have a shower. But I found that once I got rid of my... my expectations... or more accurately, sort of, accepted my limitations for the day and stopped internally yelling at myself to do more and achieve more, I was actually kinda able to do more than I thought. Things occurred to me that I could do, like in the last post I didn't think I had enough in me to moisturize my poor, poor wind blasted and cold cracked skin but blow me down, I just kind of... did? I also didn't think to try and force myself to do too much of my current knitting project, but came back to it 3 times to finish off an big section of it... I also brushed my teeth, without making myself do it. I think that's the key actually, I didn't force myself to do anything. I'm guessing that if I was having a worse day, I probably wouldn't have done these extra things. But because I didn't make myself feel bad for having a limited day, I could do way more than I could ever demand of myself. I'll remember that :)

Showering is difficult

OK so I'm sitting here in bed not really able to get out of it... maybe today's practice will be hygiene? I probably need a shower... I don't have the beans to do all the post-shower rituals like moisturizing but I would like to get clean. Then we'll see about food after that. I'm working tomorrow so I gotta conserve my energy.

Long day ahead

I have a full day of work to get through, then dinner, drinks and guests at the apartment to deal with today, so my practice today will just be surviving and trying to have fun, and not overdo it so I can still be functional tomorrow. I’ll take it one task at a time and try not to go all-in on one thing, or get anxious about what’s coming up.

A gently productive day

No work today, but I did send a box of Christmas presents off to my family back home which should get there well before Christmas, so that felt good! It's mostly subversive cross stitches of family mottos, I hope they'll like them :3 Post offices can be a bit intimidating sometimes but it went pretty smoothly. I'm used to the process by now. I also prepared a bunch of other cross stitches ready for wrapping. I have discovered hot glue guns, and only burned the tips of my fingers a little...
