There is something pretty special about hearing our kids explain how their own brains work. 💜
We used NeuroClastic’s My Brain Is Autistic resource to explore the idea that our brains can be a bit like roadmaps. Some things might have a big, clear highway. Other things might involve a winding road, a detour, a bridge or a path that takes a little more effort to travel.
The kids then created their own brain roadmaps, thinking about what feels easy for them, what can be harder, and what their individual map might look like. There was no right roadmap to create because no two brains are exactly the same.
Building this kind of self-understanding is important. When children understand more about how their own brain works, they can begin to recognise their strengths, understand what they find difficult and learn what helps them. We loved hearing them explain their maps in their own words.
