In this post, we explore why many autism parents set firm boundaries around holiday events—not to be rude, but to protect their child’s peace. Understanding this perspective creates space for compassion, inclusion, and a more meaningful celebration for all.

This sensory-friendly event created space for children on the autism spectrum to experience nature on their own terms: calmly, freely, and joyfully.

In this blog, we’re diving into practical strategies to help you create a safer, more sensory-friendly summer—from using visual schedules to choosing the right protective gear near water.

In this post, we’re unpacking what sensory processing differences actually are, how they affect your child, and practical, compassionate ways to support their needs—not silence them.

At Horizon Over the Spectrum, we believe every child on the autism spectrum deserves support, understanding, and opportunities to thrive.
