Let's get one thing straight- autism doesn't define my kids. My kids are unique and special; distinctly different in personality and characteristics. Our house is undeniably an autism home. Over the years I have got frustrated and fought for a typical home, but our home is far from typical. We do some uniquely different and out of the ordinary things that make our home autism friendly. #autismfriendly (for all you hash taggers) Most of these things are put into place for the safety and well being of my kids and to help us with overwhelming our budget from waste. Maybe you can add somethings to my list.
1. You may be in a autism home if every door in the house has and outer lock with key or code entry.
2. If the soaps and shampoo are under lock and key.
3. If you find random things lined up perfectly that makes no sense to you, but If touched watch out.
4. If picture schedules and picture list hang on walls throughout the house.
5. Toy bins are organized with pictures and labeled
6. You may be in an autism home if you have an occasional streaker
7. You have be in an autism home if power cords go missing
8. You may be in an autism home if mom and dad have dark circles under their eyes and offer coffee more than once.
9. You maybe in an autism home if the play room looks like a therapy grade sensory room.
10. You may be at an autism home if a blue light bulb lights the front porch.
What are some things that you do that makes your house #autismfriendly??
