  So guys, welcome back the importance of routine for
• 0:47
  autism. A lot of people will always ask
• 0:49
  about this now. Autism is a neurological
• 0:52
  condition as we all know and it has certain characteristics that
• 0:56
  come with it. Now, one of the main kind of
• 0:58
  traits of characteristics all the autism, is repetitive
• 1:00
  behavior or a tendency to to have affinity for routine.
• 1:06
  Why? It's a really big question and
• 1:08
  I'm going to answer it right now just after I tell you.
• 1:10
  If you want to download my free Autism Wife Axe PDF book, you
• 1:13
  can do autismhacks.net. Right now it's completely free.
• 1:17
  Link is down below. So autism routines, like, this
• 1:20
  is the thing about routine, OK? When you are a routine,
• 1:23
  something that you do positively and you know that you're going
• 1:25
  to do the same thing every day. So it could be getting up,
• 1:27
  having conflicts, sitting on your sofa and watching SpongeBob
• 1:30
  SquarePants until 11:00 AM and then you go out and do a
• 1:33
  workout, right? If you did that every single
• 1:35
  day, that is your routine. Now, the reason autistic people
• 1:37
  gravitate towards us on why it's so important for just people to
• 1:40
  have these routines is because autism comes with an inability
• 1:43
  to regulate emotions around changes or surprise kind of
• 1:47
  impromptu events. So say you have a sudden change
• 1:51
  in plans, Let's get throwing autistic person off for the rest
• 1:53
  of the day. However, if you knew what was
• 1:54
  going to happen, if you could predict, if you have
• 1:56
  predictability in your day, you can relax in that.
• 1:59
  So routine offers predictability.
• 2:01
  Autistic people love predictability and love to have
• 2:04
  that predictability along a a longer period of time over a
• 2:08
  space of, you know, their entire life.
• 2:10
  If they could, if they could predict the routine for
• 2:13
  everything, they would. You'll see all sorts of people
• 2:15
  over plan for things because they want to predict the
• 2:17
  routine. They want to predict what's
• 2:18
  going to happen next. Am I predicting what happens
• 2:20
  next? You have calmness, You have the
• 2:22
  ability to relax into something which is very important.
• 2:25
  So routine for autistic person is kind of like a cozy, comfy
• 2:28
  blanket of comfortable. I know what's going to happen
• 2:31
  next. This is why it's important and
• 2:33
  it should never be made fun of. It should never be something
• 2:35
  that's disqualified. It should be something that is
• 2:37
  validated and accepted because that's what to see people enjoy
• 2:42
  in life. Yes, we have to deviate from
• 2:44
  those plans every now and then, which can become potentially
• 2:46
  stressful for autistic individuals.
• 2:47
  But I think the important to routine is healthy, and it's
• 2:50
  good for autism. If you have anything to add, pop
• 2:52
  in the comment. I read every single one.
• 2:53
  All right, guys, peace.
