This piece of work gives an affirming, non-pathologised and joyful perspective on autistic play and is informed by a decade-ish of experiences of play with and alongside hundreds of autistic folks.
It presents eight “Autistic Play Shapes” which describe common patterns that occur in the play of autistic individuals. These have been developed over years of thinking and have grown through many iterations of presenting, teaching and being in on going communication and play with many wonderful autistic and autistic adjacent folks.
The hope and intention of this work is to encourage and nurture as much authentic autistic play as possible. It is written with three (often overlapping) groups in mind; autistic folks, folks who love and care for autistic folks and professionals working with and providing for autistic folks.
If you enjoy and/or find this work useful please do share with anyone else you feel may benefit. As a freelance, self published artist/writer I’m mostly reliant on these organic networks to get the work out there and any support is greatly appreciated.
