I’ve created a Predictable Meal & Sleep Rou

This helps reduce anxiety and build confidence because the person always knows:

👉 What to do
👉 How to do it
👉 When it’s finished
👉 What happens next

Structured tasks help with:

✅ Better focus
✅ Less frustration
✅ More independence
✅ Fewer meltdowns
✅ Higher confidence

When things are clear, the mind feels safe.

Say it clearly:

“Tidy toys”
“Finish worksheet”
“Set the table”
 

One task only. No extra words.

Break into small steps:

Example: Tidy toys
✔️ Pick up toys
✔️ Put in box
✔️ Close box

Show visually if possible.

Make the ending obvious:

“Box is closed”
“All questions done”
“Table is ready”
 

No guessing.

Always show what comes next:

“Then break”
“Then music”
“Then free time”
 

This motivates and calms.

💬 “I’m proud of you.”

Not just perfect work.

Make it smaller:

❌ “Clean your room”
✅ “Put toys in box”

One small win at a time.

Post where visible.

✔️ Be calm
✔️ Be clear
✔️ Be consistent
✔️ No rushing
✔️ No shaming

Structure = Safety 🌱

Many people with Autism Level 2 are sensitive to:

🔊 Sound
💡 Light
👕 Texture
👃 Smell
👀 Visual clutter

Too much input = stress.

Less input = learning.

Try to:

✔️ Turn off TV when working
✔️ Close doors/windows
✔️ Use quiet rooms
✔️ Speak softly
✔️ Avoid shouting

Helpful tools:
🎧 Noise-cancelling headphones
🎵 Soft background music (optional)

Avoid harsh light.

Better options:

✔️ Lamps instead of ceiling lights
✔️ Warm bulbs
✔️ Curtains/blinds
✔️ Natural daylight

Avoid:
❌ Flickering lights
❌ Very bright white bulbs

Too many things = overload.

Try:

✔️ Clear desk
✔️ One task at a time
✔️ Simple posters
✔️ Neutral colours

Before tasks:
👉 Remove extra items.

Many feel discomfort from:

❌ Tags
❌ Seams
❌ Tight clothes

Use:

✔️ Soft fabrics
✔️ Loose fit
✔️ Tag-free clothes
✔️ Favourite textures

Let them choose when possible.

Strong smells can be stressful:

❌ Perfume
❌ Cleaning sprays
❌ Cooking smells

Try:

✔️ Unscented products
✔️ Fresh air
✔️ Mild soaps

Set up a safe corner:

Include:
🧸 Soft cushion
📖 Favourite book
🎧 Headphones
🌿 Soft blanket
😌 Calm cards

This is for recovery, not punishment.

Short breaks prevent overload:

Every 30–60 minutes:

✔️ Stretch
✔️ Walk
✔️ Drink water
✔️ Quiet time

5 minutes is enough.

Ask silently or aloud:

🔹 Is it too loud?
🔹 Too bright?
🔹 Too busy?
🔹 Too smelly?
🔹 Too uncomfortable?

Fix first → Then start task.

You can use this:

🟦 I NEED:
☐ Quiet
☐ Dim light
☐ Break
☐ Headphones
☐ Space

Point instead of speaking.

Watch for:

😣 Covering ears
😵 Pacing
🙈 Avoiding eye contact
😤 Irritation
😶 Shutdown

Respond early = fewer meltdowns.

Behaviour is communication.
 

Overload means:
“I need less input.”

Not:
“I am difficult.”

With reduced sensory load:

✅ Better focus
✅ More learning
✅ Less anxiety
✅ Better sleep
✅ Stronger confidence
✅ Happier days

Many people with Autism Level 2 need more time to:

🧠 Understand words
💭 Think about meaning
🗣️ Plan a response
😊 Regulate emotions
✋ Start an action

If rushed → stress.
If given time → success.

After giving instructions:

👉 Wait 5–10 seconds
👉 Stay quiet
👉 Keep calm face
👉 No repeating too fast

Silence = thinking time.

Avoid:

❌ “Get dressed, brush teeth, pack bag, hurry up”

Use:

✅ “Put on your shirt.”
(wait)
✅ “Now trousers.”

One step = less overload.

Use:

✔️ Short sentences
✔️ Simple words
✔️ Calm voice
✔️ Normal volume

Example:

“Please… open… your book… to page five.”
 

Words + pictures = faster processing.

Use:
📋 Lists
🖼️ Cards
📅 Schedules
✏️ Written steps

Point while speaking.

When asking a question:

Ask → Pause → Wait

Example:

“How do you feel?”
 

Wait quietly.

Do NOT:
❌ Answer for them
❌ Rush
❌ Rephrase too quickly

Prepare the brain:

💬 “I will ask you a question.”
(wait)
💬 “Get ready.”
(wait)
💬 “Now.”

This reduces pressure.

Helps organise thinking:

👉 First: One task
👉 Then: Reward / rest

Example:

“First homework. Then tablet.”
 

Clear order = easier processing.

Sometimes answers come later.

That is OK 💙

They may respond:

• After minutes
   
• Later in the day
   
• In writing
   
• With gestures
   

All are valid.

Watch for:

😐 Frozen look
👀 Looking away
😵 Slow movement
🤐 No reply
😣 Fidgeting

These mean: “Still thinking.”

Say:

💬 “Good thinking.”
💬 “Take your time.”
💬 “Well done for answering.”

This builds confidence.

You can use this:

🟦 I NEED MORE TIME ⏳
☐ Please wait
☐ Repeat slowly
☐ Show me
☐ Write it down

They can point instead of speaking.

With extra time:

✅ Better understanding
✅ Fewer meltdowns
✅ More confidence
✅ Clearer communication
✅ Better learning
✅ Stronger trust

Slow is not weak.
Slow is thoughtful.
 

Respecting processing time = respecting the person.

Busy places can cause:

🔊 Loud noise
👥 Crowds
💡 Bright lights
⏳ Long queues
😣 Sensory overload

Quiet times = confidence.

Most places are calm at:

✔️ Early morning: 7:00–9:00 AM
✔️ Late evening: 7:00–9:00 PM

(Some stores also have official “quiet hours”)

✔️ Morning: 9:00–11:00 AM
✔️ Midweek afternoons

✔️ First appointment of day
✔️ Mid-morning (10–11 AM)

✔️ After rush hour: 9:30–11:30 AM
✔️ Early afternoon: 1:30–3:00 PM

Avoid: 7–9 AM and 4–6 PM

✔️ Early morning
✔️ Weekday mornings
✔️ Just before sunset

DayPlaceTimeQuiet LevelMonShop8:00 AM🟢 CalmWedLibrary10:00 AM🟢 CalmFriPark4:00 PM🟡 MediumSunCafé9:00 AM🟢 Calm 

Green = best times.

Before leaving, show:

🖼️ Where → When → How long → Home

Example:

Shop → 8:00 → 30 min → Home
 

Use pictures if helpful.

Take a small bag:

✔️ Headphones
✔️ Fidget toy
✔️ Water bottle
✔️ Comfort item
✔️ Visual card

This gives security.

Start small:

⏰ 15–20 minutes
➡️ Slowly increase

Success builds confidence.

Always have a way out.

Agree before going:

💬 “If it’s too noisy, we leave.”

No arguing. No pressure.

You can use this:

🟦 TODAY’S TRIP
📍 Place: ______
⏰ Time: ______
⏳ Stay: ______
🏠 Home after: YES

Point if anxious.

Always say:

💬 “You did really well.”
💬 “I’m proud of you.”
💬 “Thank you for trying.”

Even if short.

With planned quiet outings:

✅ More independence
✅ Less anxiety
✅ Better social skills
✅ Stronger confidence

autism level 2, Use role-play gently, in short sessions

That’s a very good and supportive approach 💙
For Autism Level 2, using gentle role-play in short sessions can really help build communication, confidence, and daily life skills—without causing overwhelm.

Here is a clear, practical guide you can use (for home, school, or your Just2ofus.uk resources):

Role-play helps with:

• 🗣️ Practising communication
• 😊 Understanding emotions
• 👥 Learning social skills
• 🧠 Preparing for real situations
• 💬 Reducing anxiety about “what to say”

For Level 2, shorter is better:

• ⏰ 5–10 minutes only
• 🛑 Stop before they get tired
• 👍 End on success

Short, positive sessions = better learning

Begin with very easy situations:

Examples:

• Saying “Hello”
• Asking for help
• Buying something
• Talking to a teacher
• Ordering food

Keep words short and clear.

Many Level 2 learners benefit from visuals:

• 🖼️ Picture cards
• 📝 Written scripts
• 📋 “Now / Next / Later” cards

Example:

Now: Say hello
Next: Ask question
Later: Finish

Always show first:

You say:

“Hello, how are you?”

They copy after you.

No pressure. No rushing.

Give control when possible:

“Do you want to practise:
👉 School talk
👉 Shop talk
👉 Phone talk?”

Choice = less anxiety.

• Soft voice
• Slow speech
• Friendly face
• No criticism

If they struggle:

“That’s okay, let’s try again together.”

You:
“Let’s practise asking for help.”

You model:
“Excuse me, can you help me please?”

They repeat

You praise:
“Great job! Well done.”

Stop & rest

Done ✅

Always praise effort, not perfection:

• “You tried, that’s great.”
• “I’m proud of you.”
• “Well done for practising.”

This builds confidence.

Stop if you see:

• 😣 Frustration
• 😵 Tiredness
• 🙈 Withdrawal
• 😤 Meltdown signs

Rest is part of learning.

Best results with routine:

🗓️ 2–3 times per week
⏰ 5–10 minutes
📍 Same calm place

With gentle practice, many people show:

• Better social confidence
• Less anxiety
• Clearer speech
• More independence
• Stronger self-esteem

If you’d like, I can next help you create:

✅ A printable role-play pack
✅ A website-ready section for Just2ofus.uk

End positively.

Reduced sensory load if possible

Very important point, my friend 💙
For Autism Level 2, reducing sensory load can make the difference between:

❌ Overwhelm & shutdown
✅ Calm, focus & success

Here is a clear, practical guide you can use at home, school, or for Just2ofus.uk.

Many people with Autism Level 2 are sensitive to:

🔊 Sound
💡 Light
👕 Texture
👃 Smell
👀 Visual clutter

Too much input = stress.

Less input = learning.

Try to:

✔️ Turn off TV when working
✔️ Close doors/windows
✔️ Use quiet rooms
✔️ Speak softly
✔️ Avoid shouting

Helpful tools:
🎧 Noise-cancelling headphones
🎵 Soft background music (optional)

Avoid harsh light.

Better options:

✔️ Lamps instead of ceiling lights
✔️ Warm bulbs
✔️ Curtains/blinds
✔️ Natural daylight

Avoid:
❌ Flickering lights
❌ Very bright white bulbs

Too many things = overload.

Try:

✔️ Clear desk
✔️ One task at a time
✔️ Simple posters
✔️ Neutral colours

Before tasks:
👉 Remove extra items.

Many feel discomfort from:

❌ Tags
❌ Seams
❌ Tight clothes

Use:

✔️ Soft fabrics
✔️ Loose fit
✔️ Tag-free clothes
✔️ Favourite textures

Let them choose when possible.

Strong smells can be stressful:

❌ Perfume
❌ Cleaning sprays
❌ Cooking smells

Try:

✔️ Unscented products
✔️ Fresh air
✔️ Mild soaps

Set up a safe corner:

Include:
🧸 Soft cushion
📖 Favourite book
🎧 Headphones
🌿 Soft blanket
😌 Calm cards

This is for recovery, not punishment.

Short breaks prevent overload:

Every 30–60 minutes:

✔️ Stretch
✔️ Walk
✔️ Drink water
✔️ Quiet time

5 minutes is enough.

Ask silently or aloud:

🔹 Is it too loud?
🔹 Too bright?
🔹 Too busy?
🔹 Too smelly?
🔹 Too uncomfortable?

Fix first → Then start task.

You can use this:

🟦 I NEED:
☐ Quiet
☐ Dim light
☐ Break
☐ Headphones
☐ Space

Point instead of speaking.

Watch for:

😣 Covering ears
😵 Pacing
🙈 Avoiding eye contact
😤 Irritation
😶 Shutdown

Respond early = fewer meltdowns.

Behaviour is communication.

Overload means:
“I need less input.”

Not:
“I am difficult.”

With reduced sensory load:

✅ Better focus
✅ More learning
✅ Less anxiety
✅ Better sleep
✅ Stronger confidence
✅ Happier days

If you’d like, I can next help you create:

✅ A personal sensory profile sheet
✅ A calm room layout plan
✅ A sensory-friendly classroom/home checklist

Extra time for processing

Very important, my friend 💙
Giving extra time for processing is one of the most powerful supports for Autism Level 2. It protects confidence, reduces anxiety, and improves understanding.

Here is a clear, practical guide you can use at home, school, and for Just2ofus.uk.

Many people with Autism Level 2 need more time to:

🧠 Understand words
💭 Think about meaning
🗣️ Plan a response
😊 Regulate emotions
✋ Start an action

If rushed → stress.
If given time → success.

After giving instructions:

👉 Wait 5–10 seconds
👉 Stay quiet
👉 Keep calm face
👉 No repeating too fast

Silence = thinking time.

Avoid:

❌ “Get dressed, brush teeth, pack bag, hurry up”

Use:

✅ “Put on your shirt.”
(wait)
✅ “Now trousers.”

One step = less overload.

Use:

✔️ Short sentences
✔️ Simple words
✔️ Calm voice
✔️ Normal volume

Example:

“Please… open… your book… to page five.”

Words + pictures = faster processing.

Use:
📋 Lists
🖼️ Cards
📅 Schedules
✏️ Written steps

Point while speaking.

When asking a question:

Ask → Pause → Wait

Example:

“How do you feel?”

Wait quietly.

Do NOT:
❌ Answer for them
❌ Rush
❌ Rephrase too quickly

Prepare the brain:

💬 “I will ask you a question.”
(wait)
💬 “Get ready.”
(wait)
💬 “Now.”

This reduces pressure.

Helps organise thinking:

👉 First: One task
👉 Then: Reward / rest

Example:

“First homework. Then tablet.”

Clear order = easier processing.

Sometimes answers come later.

That is OK 💙

They may respond:

• After minutes
• Later in the day
• In writing
• With gestures

All are valid.

Watch for:

😐 Frozen look
👀 Looking away
😵 Slow movement
🤐 No reply
😣 Fidgeting

These mean: “Still thinking.”

Say:

💬 “Good thinking.”
💬 “Take your time.”
💬 “Well done for answering.”

This builds confidence.

You can use this:

🟦 I NEED MORE TIME ⏳
☐ Please wait
☐ Repeat slowly
☐ Show me
☐ Write it down

They can point instead of speaking.

With extra time:

✅ Better understanding
✅ Fewer meltdowns
✅ More confidence
✅ Clearer communication
✅ Better learning
✅ Stronger trust

Slow is not weak.
Slow is thoughtful.

Respecting processing time = respecting the person.

If you’d like, I can next help you create:

✅ A teacher/carer reminder card
✅ A classroom/home poster
✅ A communication support pack
✅ A full Autism Level 2 strategy bundle

Community Plan quiet hours for outings LEVEL 2

Beautiful and very thoughtful, my friend 💙
Planning quiet hours for community outings is one of the best supports for Autism Level 2. It reduces sensory overload and makes public life safer, calmer, and more enjoyable.

Here is a clear, practical guide you can use.

Busy places can cause:

🔊 Loud noise
👥 Crowds
💡 Bright lights
⏳ Long queues
😣 Sensory overload

Quiet times = confidence.

Most places are calm at:

✔️ Early morning: 7:00–9:00 AM
✔️ Late evening: 7:00–9:00 PM

(Some stores also have official “quiet hours”)

✔️ Morning: 9:00–11:00 AM
✔️ Midweek afternoons

✔️ First appointment of day
✔️ Mid-morning (10–11 AM)

✔️ After rush hour: 9:30–11:30 AM
✔️ Early afternoon: 1:30–3:00 PM

Avoid: 7–9 AM and 4–6 PM

✔️ Early morning
✔️ Weekday mornings
✔️ Just before sunset

DayPlaceTimeQuiet LevelMonShop8:00 AM🟢 CalmWedLibrary10:00 AM🟢 CalmFriPark4:00 PM🟡 MediumSunCafé9:00 AM🟢 Calm

Green = best times.

Before leaving, show:

🖼️ Where → When → How long → Home

Example:

Shop → 8:00 → 30 min → Home

Use pictures if helpful.

Take a small bag:

✔️ Headphones
✔️ Fidget toy
✔️ Water bottle
✔️ Comfort item
✔️ Visual card

This gives security.

Start small:

⏰ 15–20 minutes
➡️ Slowly increase

Success builds confidence.

Always have a way out.

Agree before going:

💬 “If it’s too noisy, we leave.”

No arguing. No pressure.

You can use this:

🟦 TODAY’S TRIP
📍 Place: ______
⏰ Time: ______
⏳ Stay: ______
🏠 Home after: YES

Point if anxious.

Always say:

💬 “You did really well.”
💬 “I’m proud of you.”
💬 “Thank you for trying.”

Even if short.

With planned quiet outings:

✅ More independence
✅ Less anxiety
✅ Better social skills
✅ Stronger confidence
✅ Happier community life

Go when others are not.

Quiet spaces = safe spaces.

If you’d like, I can next help you create:

✅ A printable quiet-outing planner

Here is a clear, practical guide you can use.

💬 “It’s okay to use them.”

Build pride, not shame.
