• 0:45
  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
  trait of characteristics of autism is repetitive behaviour
• 1:01
  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 if you
• 1:10
  want to download my free autism white fax PDF book, you can do
• 1:14
  at autismhacks.net right now. It's completely free.
• 1:17
  Link is down below. So autism and routines like this
• 1:20
  is the thing about routine, OK? When you are a routine, that's
• 1:23
  something that you do passively 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 AM and then you go out and do a workout,
• 1:34
  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 us, just people
• 1:40
  to have these routines is because autism comes with an
• 1:42
  inability to regulate emotions around changes or surprise kind
• 1:47
  of impromptu events. So say you have a sudden change
• 1:51
  in plans. This could throw an autistic
• 1:52
  person off for the rest of the day.
• 1:53
  However, if you knew what was going to happen, if you could
• 1:55
  predict if you have predictability in your day, you
• 1:58
  can relax in that. So routine offers
• 2:00
  predictability. Autistic people love
• 2:02
  predictability and love to have that predictability along a a
• 2:06
  longer period of time over a space of, you know, their entire
• 2:10
  life. If they could, if they could
• 2:11
  predict the routine for everything, they would.
• 2:14
  You'll see all sorts of people over plan for things because
• 2:16
  they want to predict the routine.
• 2:17
  They want to predict what's going to happen next.
• 2:19
  And by predicting what happens next, you have calmness, you
• 2:22
  have the ability to relax into something, which is very
• 2:24
  important. So routine for an uncertain
• 2:27
  person is kind of like a cosy, comfy blanket of comfortable.
• 2:30
  I know what's going to happen next.
• 2:31
  This is why it's important and it should never be made fun of.
• 2:35
  It should never be something that's disqualified.
• 2:36
  It should be something that is validated and accepted because
• 2:40
  that's what autistic people enjoy in life.
• 2:43
  Yes, we have to deviate from those plans every now and then,
• 2:45
  which can become essentially stressful for autistic
• 2:47
  individuals, but I think the importance of routine is healthy
• 2:49
  and it's good for autism. If you have anything to add, pop
• 2:52
  out to comment. I read every single one.
• 2:53
  All right, guys, Peace.
