Children with autism tend to flourish when they have a highly-structured schedule and
routine. Again, this touches on the consistency they require to have a sense of
wellbeing. Create a plan for your child with regular mealtimes, school activities, therapy,
and prep for bedtime. Try to keep breaks in routine to a minimum. If there is a necessary
schedule change, prepare the child for it ahead of time with a social story or explanation
of what to expect.
