A Neuroaffirmative Social Visual Guide for Autistic Children
My School Uniform is a clear, reassuring social visual guide designed to support Autistic children in understanding school uniforms, when they are worn, and when they are not. Using consistent visuals, simple declarative language, and predictable structure, this resource reduces uncertainty around school clothing expectations and supports emotional regulation during school transitions.
This guide gently explains key concepts such as wearing a uniform at school, changing out of uniform at home, and understanding that different classes may have different uniform requirements. It avoids compliance-based language and instead focuses on clarity, predictability, and shared understanding, making it particularly supportive for Autistic children who experience anxiety around routines, transitions, or sensory aspects of clothing.
The visuals feature diverse children, familiar environments such as home and school, and consistent uniform imagery to support visual processing and meaning-making. The language is concrete, affirming, and accessible, supporting comprehension without pressure or behavioural expectation.
