Consistency is one of the strongest support tools for autistic children. Unpredictable rules, sudden changes, or shifting expectations can increase anxiety and cause behaviors that appear like resistance.
Your consistency provides a sense of emotional safety and structure.
How to Maintain Stability
- Keep routines steady.
- Use the same simple instructions daily.
- Avoid sudden rule changes.
- Prepare the child gently before transitions.
- Offer visual cues for repeated tasks.
Predictability is not rigidity. It is a foundation that helps autistic children thrive with confidence.
