The end of year holidays can be a both joyful and stressful time. The changes to routine and increased social demands - among other things - can lead to overwhelm and exhaustion. Whether or not we celebrate Christmas, we often engage in activities at this time of year because we think these 'should' or 'need to' be done, or done in certain ways. This year, we invite you to consider tailoring your December to meet your own - or your child's - needs. Please join us as several members of our Autistic community share some of their experiences and tips for navigating the holidays in ways that are responsive and respectful of their needs.
