Children on the autism spectrum need more clues during the day to help them understand how events follow each other and give them an extra layer of safety by letting them know what's coming next (in my opinion every child benefits from this though). Our son (Aron) is on the high functioning end of the spectrum. We learn as we go - many times by trial and error - and we're doing our best to help him, but it's not a smooth ride. I don't think people are aware of the downsides of this disorder, so I'm planning to be more open and transparent to help others while I'm learning too. Love and patience are key elements in raising any kid, but children on the spectrum needs even more of both. Love is always there per se, but patience is a tricky bastard, and leaves the house easily when you need it the most.

We have to find our inner peace and balance and strengthen our ability to stay calm in all circu*stances, because that's one of the main things that can help autistic kids improve. Because visual schedule is very helpful, I started to search the internet for such cards, based on Aron's kindergarten teachers' and psychologists' recommendation. And I couldn't find any consistent, high-quality stuff. None. Nowhere. Maybe I didn't look hard enough, maybe I'm just too picky, I don't know. But I think these kids, who are especially sensitive to art and visuals in general deserve something better. Nothing's wrong with stick figures, I know they work fine as well. But I think I have to use my ability to give something I've been struggling to find a good solution to draw different schedule cards quickly, still in a consistent way, that both Aron and I decided to paint these cards, similar to the so called Picture Exchange Communication System cards for my kids to help them expressing their feelings and also with their daily schedule. You can also try them with your kid(s), even if they don't have any
