Autism Spectrum Disorder
“The outside inside when you feel you can’t go outside - this will be my great escape in winter and late at night when I can’t go out, but need to.”
“I like that it follows a journey - this makes it safe and predictable for my clients....their diagnosis (autism) means that this DVD is calming and soothing - the quiet regular sounds of nature can be used to provide a safe space, the animals provide (for) non-threatening watching material that really does help get his (client’s) attention, even when he is really on the way to being out of control with challenging behaviours - it avoided staff needing to ‘hold’ him.”
“I like the birds and other animals...badgers are so funny, just like people...really a bit silly with each other, but you can almost guess what they are thinking’. This started a conversation about how hard it is getting on with others who don’t know you, and what they might think about you, and how body language is even more important than what we say in words”.
Many of the above comments were gathered independently during a survey on the Calmer By Nature DVD kindly conducted by
