Disneyland and Walt Disney World now have guidebooks for guests with cognitive disabilities (such as autism). They include the above charts of what to expect at each attraction (strong smells, loud noises, restraint types used, duration, and more), lists of quiet areas for when you need down time, and answers to frequently asked questions, among other tips.

They are available to download in PDF format: Disneyland | Walt Disney World

If you don’t want to download a PDF (or prefer to click the download link on Disney’s site directly), here are their pages for Services for Guests with Cognitive Disabilities: Disneyland | Walt Disney World

My OT mentor’s advice: “When you go into a patient’s room, you want to try to be a blank slate. By that, I mean you do not want to bring any baggage in there. Whether your day is going bad or your previous session did not go as planned, you do not want to see a patient thinking about the previous patient or your own issues. Your patient needs and deserves your full care and attention. They need you to be ready. I know we’re human, and this can be hard. But as much as possible, you have to try to drop all your baggage before you walk in, and go in there with a clean blank slate.”

Yes. Reminder to self. ❤️

This post was grating on my nerves with every pun. And then, then I read the caption. And I closed my eyes, thinking to myself I know I must deserve this hell. Now I know what it’s like for a post to physically pain me.

5-Year-Old With Autism Paints Stunning Masterpieces 

Autism is a poorly-understood neurological disorder that can impair an individual’s ability to engage in various social interactions. But little 5-year-old Iris Grace in the UK is an excellent example of the unexpected gifts that autism can also grant – her exceptional focus and attention to detail have helped her create incredibly beautiful paintings that many of her fans (and buyers) have likened to Monet’s works.

Little Iris is slowly learning to speak, whereas most children have already begun to speak at least a few words by age 2. Along with speech therapy, her parents gradually introduced her to painting, which is when they discovered her amazing talent.

“We have been encouraging Iris to paint to help with speech therapy, joint attention and turn taking,” her mother, Arabella Carter-Johnson, explains on her website. “Then we realised that she is actually really talented and has an incredible concentration span of around 2 hours each time she paints. Her autism has created a style of painting which I have never seen in a child of her age, she has an understanding of colours and how they interact with each other.”

Much better version of the same subject matter I posted earlier.
