By Friday afternoon, many families—especially those with children on the spectrum—feel the weight of the week. School routines, therapies, activities, and everyday stresses can add up, often leading to meltdowns, restless nights, or heightened anxiety as the weekend begins. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
Weekends are a perfect opportunity to step away from the weekly routine and spend quality time with your family. For children with autism or sensory sensitivities, engaging in fun and relaxing activities can help them unwind, get some exercise, and strengthen family bonds. Here are some tips and ideas for planning a weekend filled with joy, movement, and connection.
Are you ready to embrace the great outdoors with your family? National Play Outside Day is here, and we have something special for our autism community! Whether it's the first Saturday of the month or any day, let's celebrate Autism Friendly Play Outside Day together!
