Autism Level 2 Support Guide

🎯 Why This Matters

Many people with Autism Level 2 are sensitive to:

👃 Smell

Too much input = overload.

✅ Use quiet rooms
✅ Speak softly

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

Avoid sudden loud noises.

💡 2. Soft Lighting

Avoid harsh light.

Use:

✅ Lamps instead of ceiling lights
✅ Warm bulbs
✅ Curtains/blinds
✅ Natural light

Avoid flickering lights.

👀 3. Reduce Visual Clutter

Too many things = stress.

You will say:

✅ Clear desk/table
✅ One task visible

👕 4. Clothing & Touch Comfort

Many are sensitive to:

❌ Tags
❌ Tight seams

Every setting should have one.

⏱️ 7. Sensory Breaks

Prevent overload:

Every 30–60 minutes:

✔️ Walk
✔️ Stretch
✔️ Drink water
✔️ Quiet sit

5 minutes is enough.

🚦 8. Sensory Check Before Tasks

Ask:

🔹 Too loud?
🔹 Too bright?
🔹 Too busy?
🔹 Too uncomfortable?

Fix first → then start.

📋 9. Sensory Support Card

Use this:

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

Point instead of speaking.

⚠️ 10. Early Signs of Overload

Watch for:

😣 Covering ears
😵 Pacing
🙈 Avoiding eye contact
😤 Irritable
😶 Silent

Act early = calm outcome.

🌼 11. Long-Term Benefits

🌱 Exit Plan for Overload

Autism Level 2 Safety & Support System

🎯 Why an Exit Plan Matters

When overload occurs:

🔊 Noise ↑
💡 Lights ↑
👥 Crowds ↑
🧠 Stress ↑

Thinking ↓
Control ↓

An exit plan means:

“I am safe. I can leave.”
 

No panic. No shame.

🚦 1. Agree the Plan BEFORE Going Out

Always decide when calm:

💬 "If it's too much, we will leave."

Choose together:
✔️ Signal
✔️ Safe place
✔️ Exit route

Trust builds security.

🟢 2. Choose a Safe Place

Pick somewhere quiet:

🌳 Outside bench
🚗 Car
🚪 Hallway
🛋️ Quiet room

Show it in advance if possible.

✋ 3. Create a Simple Signal

Easy ways to ask to leave:

🟥 Exit card
🗣️ "Break please"
✋ Hand up
📱 Text message

No explaining needed.

⏱️ 4. Leave Immediately

When signal is used:

❌ No arguing
❌ No "just wait"
❌ No bargaining

✅ Calm voice
✅ Walk together
✅ Exit quickly

Speed ​​= safety.

🎧 5. Calm Recovery Steps

After leaving:

🎧 Headphones on
🧸 Comfort item
🥤 Water
🌬️ Slow breathing
🪑 Sit quietly

No questions yet.

Let the body settle.

📋 6. Exit Plan Card (Carry This)

Use this small card:

🟦 MY EXIT PLAN
📍 Go to: ________
✋ Signal: ________
🎧 Headphones: ✔️

⚠️ 7. Leave Early (Warning Signs)

Exit BEFORE meltdown if you see:

😣 Fidgeting
🙈 Avoiding eyes
😵 Pacing
🤐 Silent
😤 Irritable

Early exit = success.

⭐ 8. Praise After Exiting

Always say:

💬 "You did the right thing."
💬 "Well done for telling me."
💬 "I'm proud of you."

Never leave work.

🌼 9. Review Later (When Calm)

Later, gently ask:

💬 "What was too much?"
💬 "What helped?"
💬 "Next time, what can we change?"

Improve together.

💙 Golden Rule

Leaving is not failure.
Leaving is self-care 🌱
 

Exit plans build confidence and independence.
