Autism Communication Flashcards: Emotions & Interoception (Digital Download)

Many autistic children, even those who are verbal, struggle with recognizing signals from their own body (this is called INTEROCEPTION). This can make it difficult to express hunger, thirst, pain, emotions, or recognizing they have to use the washroom.

These flashcards are designed to help children recognize TRIGGERS that might lead to a meltdown, such as LOSING A TOY, feeling TOO HOT or TOO COLD, DISCOMFORT FROM CLOTHING, or needing a QUIET SPACE away from noise and crowds. By identifying these triggers, children can better understand their own needs, and caregivers can provide the right support more easily.

This is a great resource for Speech Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Teachers or Parents.

Whether used with AAC devices, keychains, or laminated pages, these visuals support self-expression and daily communication.

As a mom of an autistic child, I struggled to find visual supports that actually worked. My child helped pick the characters, and this was the first system that truly helped him express his needs. I hope these can make a difference for your child too! ❤️
