Nasiyah's tips for supporting autistic individuals during Passover:
1. Always try to ensure the Seder dinners are sensory-friendly, keeping noise and lighting down and providing prompting for every transition.
2. Serve some safe foods at your Seder, like chicken, chips (that are Kosher for Passover), non-spicy foods, or allergen-friendly pre-packaged options.
3. Be understanding if an autistic individual has to leave the dinner early, expresses discomfort with the food options, or needs some time by themselves. Have a space set up where they can decompress.
4. Integrate lots of songs and movement into the dinner.
5. Have fun!
