Here’s an autism-friendly activity you can do with all kids—to help celebrate and foster autistic children’s talents. Watch the video together, pointing out that Julia was a good teacher to Grover—even though Grover was leading the game! She slows down and looks carefully to find patterns.
Then, help children create more patterns, using household items such as spoons or socks.
