Routine is incredibly important to persons with Autism Spectrum Disorder. As a parent you would think routine is a benefit, however that is not always the case.

Our daughter loves quality food. It is an understatement to say she is a true foodie. BUT it is challenging to entice her to try new restaurants.

This week I had a small win. We tried something new and she loved it. Why does it matter. Social skills matter in all environments. Trying new places enhances her capabilities. New skills always matter and helps our family enjoy life outside our bubble a little more.
