For neurodivergent families who love the idea of Christmas, and find the actual day a lot.

Christmas takes away almost everything that helps a neurodivergent child cope: routine, quiet, predictability. Then it asks them to be at their happiest. In Australia it lands right on top of the end of the school year, in the heat. This plan helps you get ready for the hard parts instead of hoping they won't happen.

Inside:
• A note for the relatives: a ready-to-send letter that explains what helps, so you don't have to on the day
• A fill-in family plan: quiet space, safe foods, break signal and exit plan
• Presents and food without the performance, including a "thank you, I'll look at it later" script
• What to say when the relatives have opinions: seven quick replies
• A pack-the-bag checklist for the day
• How to plan for the Boxing Day crash
• A printable Christmas Day picture schedule and four break cards

12 printable pages, instant PDF download.

Written by Dom: 28 years in education, Master of Special Needs, former Assistant Principal, and mum to three neurodivergent kids.
