Using a physical board with icons is often more effective than just writing text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAutistic brains may struggle with sequencing (knowing which step comes first). By stripping the day down to just two steps, you remove the \"noise\" of the rest of the day, making it easier to start the first task.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe \"Next\" box acts as a mental bridge.
