🌟 The right environment can make all the difference! For children and teens with , starting social exposures in loud, crowded, high-pressure settings can feel overwhelming and may actually increase anxiety. Instead, begin in spaces that are calm, quiet, and predictable, where communication feels safer and more manageable. 💬💙

Building confidence starts with small, successful experiences. As comfort grows, individuals can gradually work toward more challenging social settings with greater confidence and independence. ✨ Read Dr. E's handout, “Loud, Large, and Lotsa People,” for more practical strategies to support successful social communication exposures: https://ow.ly/9yGt50Z2pTM
