Find the Word You Need Today - Autism
Autistic needs are not necessarily the same every day. Sensory input, social demands, communication, uncertainty, masking, tiredness and changes in routine can all affect capacity.
This gentle word search invites you to notice what you might need today without asking you to force yourself through overwhelm.
Hidden words include SPACE, UNDERSTOOD, SENSORY, ACCEPTANCE, ROUTINE, QUIET, REST, REGULATE, BOUNDARIES, COMMUNICATE, SAFE, PREDICTABILITY, CHOICE, UNMASK, SUPPORT, KINDNESS, INTERESTS, CONNECTION, IDENTITY and CALM.
Inside the downloadable resource:
• a full playable Autism word search
• a “What Do I Need Today?” reflection
• prompts around sensory needs, communication and predictability
• an environmental-adjustment exercise
• a supportive message from Maggie
• a sensory and capacity check-in
The aim is not to make an autistic person fit the environment more successfully. It is to notice what could make the environment work better with their needs.
