Autism and Me

15-Page Autism Understanding & Support Activity Booklet

This 15-page Autism Understanding & Support activity booklet is designed to help autistic children better understand themselves, their needs, and how they experience the world in a positive and empowering way.

The booklet uses clear, child-friendly language and structured activities to support emotional understanding, sensory awareness, communication, and self-advocacy. It focuses on celebrating strengths while gently supporting challenges, helping children feel seen, understood, and accepted.

Inside the booklet you’ll find:

• Simple explanations of autism in a strengths-based way
• “All about me” pages focusing on preferences and interests
• Sensory likes, dislikes, and triggers exploration
• Emotion recognition and regulation activities
• Routine, change, and transition support pages
• Communication preferences and needs pages
• Calm strategies and safe spaces planning
• Support networks and trusted adults pages

This resource is ideal for:

• Autistic children aged approximately 4–10 years
• Schools, ELSA sessions, pastoral support, SEN provision, and nurture groups
• Home use with parents and carers
• Children who benefit from visual supports, structure, and predictable routines

The booklet is print-friendly and flexible, allowing adults to adapt activities to each child’s developmental level and communication style. It supports children in understanding that autism is a part of who they are, not something that needs fixing, and that they are valued exactly as they are.
