Autism and ADHD in Girls (The Connection)

Autism motivation can be a struggle for autistic people, here are 3 hacks to keep YOU productive! It is sometimes the most difficult task in the world to stay motivated and stay on task when you are on the spectrum and especially if you have ADHD also. I have laid out some simple but impactful productivity hacks for autism to keep you motivated and productive! 1.Set A Timer: Lack of motivation to do some thing productive comes from the ability to do something more fun. If you have tasks you need to do, try set a timer for the tasks so you know that you can do fun things after the timers is up! 2.Lists: Create lists of all the things you need to do and tasks to complete, and have them visible on your desk, wall or even the background of you phone or tablet to prompt you to stay productive. A plan keeps you on track! 3.Use Apps: These are some of the best apps to keep you productive as heck: - Tiimo - Helps keeps you on task, and remembering to do tasks with a timer. Also has smart watch integration. - Microsoft To Do - Keeps everything you need to do in an organised cloud synced to do list and is perfect for people on the spectrum. - Notes - The best on phone organisers for tasks and ideas and planning, with awesome tools and featured baked right into the app. I hope these hacks bring you the much needed productivity motivation that they do for me!

This is how to help children with autism and school phobias. BRILLIA: https://discoverbrillia.com CHARTS DOWNLOADS: https://shoptly.com/i/unr School can be a very difficult challenging and confusing place for people on the autism spectrum, This is why I have created this list of things that can definitely help with anyone facing these challenges. Understand what triggers - Create a list of scary vs non-scary tasks or places in the school - Colour subjects on a chart: green = good, red = bad and amber = ok - Create a worry book write down all issues in the book, also try personalise it with their topic of interest. Crate strategies for home use to calm anxiety and relax - This like going for A walk - Building Lego - Or scheduled quiet time in their room where they are safe Communicate with the school directly - Contact the SENco at the school and make the aware of the issues - Find out what has been done so far to accommodate the needs of the child - Consult with the direct line of staff who deal with your child day to day and discuss what strategies they are using - Simply ask your child what support they feel they need Adjustments - You could look at having quiet time during the school day in a quiet room - Using ear defenders outside in the play ground - A later start and early finish time to avoid busy school traffic - Using reward systems to help meet targets (check out my link for charts) - Older students may like to use apps to help with anxiety Home school This may be a choice for some people depending on your level of comfort. Always remember if you are going from home school to mainstream school, include a time of a reintegration period. Prep well.

This is the robot that can change autism learning forever! MOVI - Kebbi Robot: https://bit.ly/3bDbLIw White Paper: https://www.theaspieworld.com/robot/ Okay so I’m a huge lover of technology and robotics and when this meets education and learning for people on the autism spectrum I’m all in. You know I started off young using things like the Furby and Tamagotchi’s then progress to using my Alexa unit on my Siri on my iPhone and iPad. These tools AI and robots are all good but at the end of the day how good can it get for teaching kids on the autism spectrum. This is where MOVIA Robotics comes in! They have developed this awesome robot that will interact for a personal program that is bespoke and created from consulting with parents of autistic children who will be using this unit. You see most technology companies will make a evergreen robot or an evergreen piece of software that is not tailored for your specific child, with this robot everything is tailor-made for your child. This is fascinating bit of tech and I am certain it is going to help change the way autistic children learn and develop.
