Preparation

The holidays can be immensely challenging for folks on the autism spectrum.

Our regular routines may be disrupted, additional demands are made on us, and we have to face many more challenges that we normally don't have to manage.

Some of the things you may need to prepare for are:

• Shopping for gifts and food
• Planning get-togethers
• Figuring out how much money to spend
• Figuring out how much decorating to do

We've also provided two "blank" sections you can fill in, yourself, in case you think of something we haven't covered.
