This series answers some of the most frequently asked questions we’ve received on YouTube and from our autism unlocked audience.
In this clip, Purple Ella answers a request for tips on connecting with an autistic child through their special interest. They explain some different ways a child might like to engage in their special interest, the benefit of letting your child ‘info-dump’ on their passion, and following your child’s lead rather than making assumptions about next steps or activities you think they might like.
This video was created by Clinical Partners for the NHS. The series is part of autism unlocked – a dedicated space for autistic people and their families to receive expert advice and guidance on a range of issues.
