My Autism Manual

Report

This template was created to help explain what autism looks like in a specific individual.

Autism is unique in each person and there are a lot of behaviors that can be misunderstood. As the parent of an autistic teen, I found it difficult to communicate my daughter's behaviors, goals, and struggles to others. I want this to be a tool for others aiming to understand or communicate - this is what autism looks like in my daughter.

The goal was to create a manual/guide that explains:

  • who my daughter is

  • how they work

  • what joy and other emotions look like to them (because the behaviors can look different)

  • what behaviors indicate serious trouble, and intervention is needed

  • that each autism diagnosis represents itself differently - this is my daughter's autism

All of the information on the board came from my daughter. It was a fully cooperative experience. I worked with her to visualize her behaviors and how to best communicate it. She encouraged me to share this with the greater community.

My sister says that Miro is the perfect example of how my mind works. I'm a mom to a teen with Autism & ADHD and the templates I'm submit are to help the ASD community. I also cofounded Covalent Bonds, a scientific marketing data strategy company. I love science, data, and find the best ways to communicate the two.
