Lesson Overview

11.20 – Responding to Rigid Thinking With Flexibility: Many autistic children rely on strict routines or literal interpretations to feel secure. Responding with flexibility teaches adaptation without causing fear. Parents can model gentle change, showing that small adjustments can still lead to success. Instead of forcing flexibility suddenly, they can guide transitions through discussion and reassurance. Using humor, visuals, or gradual steps reduces stress. When flexibility is modeled calmly, children begin to mirror that balance. It helps them handle surprises, mistakes, and new ideas. Over time, this skill supports emotional resilience, problem-solving, and independence. Flexibility taught through compassion prepares children for a world that constantly changes.
