Autistic children are often picky eaters and may be more likely to have food allergies or sensitivities. That's why it's important to ensure their meals are both suitable for their needs and rich in nutrients. 🧩

Get creative with mealtimes to encourage them to eat. For example, blend broccoli into rice porridge or make a banana smoothie. These simple ideas can help make meals more colourful and nutritious.

Tip: Reduce added sugar and sweeteners to support healthier eating habits. 🚫🍬

Kanak-kanak autisme memang selalunya memilih makan (picky eaters) dan mudah kena alahan. Jadi, kita kena sentiasa pastikan makanan mereka sesuai dan berkhasiat tinggi. 🧩

Cubalah jadi kreatif supaya mereka selera makan, contohnya kisar brokoli ke dalam bubur nasi atau buat smoothie pisang. Barulah hidangan berwarna-warni dan penuh dengan nutrisi!

Tip: Kurangkan gula atau pemanis untuk menyokong pemakanan yang lebih sihat. 🚫🍬

自闭症儿童往往比较挑食（Picky Eaters），也可能更容易出现食物过敏的情况。因此，我们需要多加留意孩子的饮食，确保食物适合他们，并摄取充足的营养。

不妨发挥一点创意，让孩子吃得开心，也能摄取更多营养。例如，将西兰花打碎加入粥里，或制作香蕉奶昔。让餐盘变得色彩丰富，同时也营养满满!

小贴士： 减少糖分或甜味剂的摄取，有助于培养更健康的饮食习惯。

SpongeBob’s kind-hearted and innocent personality, his joy from being around others, his strong emotions and empathy are traits that some autistic individuals may relate to. 💛

Tom Kenny, SpongeBob’s voice actor, shared that SpongeBob can be seen as autistic, while AutieJake on YouTube said, “He’s a little confused, but he’s got the spirit, I think.”

Every mind shines differently. ✨

Many do not know that the signs of autism in girls are actually different from boys.

They are incredibly skilled at mimicking their peers (social masking) just to fit in.

Because of this, autism in girls is frequently overlooked and diagnosed much later.

Understand autism more deeply. - NASOM ✨

───
Ramai tidak tahu, tanda autisme bagi kanak-kanak perempuan sebenarnya berbeza dengan lelaki.

Mereka sangat bijak meniru gaya rakan sebaya (social masking) untuk menyesuaikan diri.

Disebabkan itu, autisme dalam kalangan kanak-kanak perempuan kerap terlepas pandang dan lambat dikesan.

Fahami autisme dengan lebih mendalam. - NASOM ✨

───
很多人不知道，自闭症女孩的表现，其实和自闭症男孩并不完全一样。

她们往往很擅长模仿同龄人的行为与社交方式，以融入周围的环境，这种现象被称为「社交伪装（Social Masking）」。

正因如此，许多自闭症女孩的特征容易被忽略，导致较晚才被发现或获得诊断。

让我们更深入地了解自闭症，共同营造一个更理解、更包容的社会。— NASOM ✨

One of the ways autistic children express their emotions is through hitting behaviour.

However, there can be many reasons behind this behaviour. It is not simply because they are angry or being rude.

Hitting behaviour can happen because they are confused, feeling overwhelmed, needing help or experiencing discomfort. Take the time to understand the situation and identify the message they are trying to communicate. 🫶✨

Every behaviour carries a different emotion and meaning. 🌈

───

Salah satu cara kanak-kanak autistik meluahkan emosi adalah melalui tingkah laku memukul (hitting behaviour).

Namun, terdapat pelbagai sebab di sebalik tingkah laku ini. Bukan semata-mata kerana mereka marah atau bersikap kasar.

Tingkah laku tersebut boleh berpunca daripada kekeliruan, rasa terlalu tertekan, memerlukan bantuan atau berasa tidak selesa. Fahami situasi yang berlaku dan cuba kenal pasti mesej yang ingin disampaikan. 🫶✨

Tingkah laku ini membawa emosi dan makna yang berbeza. 🌈

───

对于自闭症孩子来说，拍打或打人的行为（Hitting Behaviour）有时是一种表达情绪的方式。

然而，这种行为背后往往有着不同的原因，并不一定代表他们在生气，或故意冒犯。

有时候，他们可能感到困惑、压力、身体不舒服，或是不知道该如何表达自己需要帮助。当孩子出现这些行为时，尝试理解当下发生了什么，并留意他们想要传达的信息。🫶✨

因为每一种行为的背后，都可能藏着不同的情绪与需求。🌈
