Let's Transition

Transitions can be one of the most challenging parts of the day for children with autism.

Here’s why:

• Many children with autism thrive on predictability

• Sudden changes can trigger anxiety

• Executive functioning skills (planning, shifting attention) may be delayed

• They may hyper-focus on a preferred activity

• Sensory shifts (noise, lighting, people) can feel overwhelming

Research shows that difficulty with transitions is often linked to anxiety and difficulty with cognitive flexibility — not “noncompliance.”

When behavior escalates during transitions, ask yourself:

👉 Is this resistance — or is this overwhelm?

✨ Try this today:

Give a 5-minute warning + a 2-minute warning + a visual cue.

Consistency builds safety.Safety reduces behavior.
