Personal care activities can be challenging for people with an autism spectrum condition. This is especially so if difficulties with sensory processing are evident. However, the close proximity of others or not understanding the necessity of an activity can all contribute to personal care activities being a stressful part of the person’s every day life.
Each person with autism is unique, as is the way they perceive the world. This resource booklet is a compilation of a wide variety of strategies and ideas aimed at making times less stressful and more pleasurable for all involved.
