ADVICE

Fix Small Frictions First

  • Try small, concrete environmental changes (hooks, moving bins) to cut daily friction.
  • Choose activities that give direction and endpoint rather than exercise for its own sake.
ANECDOTE

Writing From Internal Rhythms

  • Darren notices he can zoom out and see emotional and spatial patterns when calm and uses writing to make sense.
  • Poetry and rhythm help him process before words arrive.
INSIGHT

Meet People In Pattern Language

  • Pattern language prioritizes sound, shape, colour and motion before words for connection.
  • Meeting autistic kids in that pre-verbal pattern language builds connection first, then shared speech.
