Christmas is a time of joy – at least this is what greetings cards and TV adverts tell us. For many autistic people and their families, the reality can be very different. The changes in routine, sensory overload, excitement, and social demands can turn the festive season into a source of stress.
With practical strategies, gentle reassurance and real-life solutions, this book helps autistic people to approach Christmas with confidence. By detailing what to expect, autistic people are empowered to celebrate Christmas in a way that feels right to them.
Families can also use this book to anticipate challenges and support their autistic family members to create an inclusive Christmas celebration everyone can enjoy.
I absolutely love this book! It’s been so helpful in preparing my son for the Christmas period. He really enjoys looking at the lovely pictures ❤️ I would highly recommend!

This is a great book to help neurodiverse people, whether or child or even someone older to be reminded of the tools they can use to make something like a busy, chaotic holiday more manageable for them. I really liked the comfort checklist in the back as well!
