Autism looks different for everyone

  • “Let me know if I can make you feel more comfortable.”
  • “How can I help you?”
  • “Please let me know if I can I support you.”
  • "I'm here to help you, if you want."

Fitting in can be exhausting

  • "You can take a break whenever you need."
  • “You are welcome to use whatever strategies you need to feel included.”
  • "Let's work together to determine strategies that can support you in everyday situations."
  • "Everybody is welcome here."

I feel things deeply, I just may not show it

  • "What is your preferred method of communication?"
  • "We want you to feel it is OK to be authentically yourself."
  • "I am here to listen if you want to share how you are feeling.“

I’ve been wearing a mask my whole life

  • “This is a safe space to be your authentic self.”
  • “What can I do to make you feel more comfortable?”
  • "Please let us know if there is anything we can do that helps to include you."

My strengths and interests are what drive and motivate me

  • “I’ve noticed you are interested in x. Tell me more about this.”
  • “What things are you passionate about?”
  • "What do you enjoy doing in your free time? Tell me about this."
  • "What did you do on the weekend?"

I am listening, I just may not always make eye contact

  • "Do what you need to do to feel engaged and comfortable"
  • "Everyone is welcome to use their own strategies to help them feel relaxed."
  • "It's OK not to make eye contact when we talk."

I may seem calm on the surface, but underneath I am working so hard

  • "Please let us know if there is anything we can do to assist you."
  • "It's OK to take a break."
  • "Everyone is welcome to use their own strategies to help them."
