Worry often shows up in the body first, and autistic kids may feel it without words for it. Naming the feeling, locating it in the body, and having a go-to calming step gives worry somewhere to go. You know your kid.
One tip from a dad who's been there
Name it out loud and small: your tummy feels worried, that makes sense. Then do one calming thing together. Worry shared with a calm grown-up shrinks faster than worry carried alone.
Common questions
What if my child won't look at the schedule or story?
