Detailed explanation-2: -Children thrive on routine. All children learn best from repetition, and children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) especially appreciate predictability and patterns.

Detailed explanation-3: -For some autistic people, a change in routine, however small, could lead to anxiety. As such, strict routines could cause issues if a person is being supported by someone who is not aware of their exact habits, or if their environment changes, such as their regular café being closed. Changes are inevitable in life.

Detailed explanation-5: -Routines are often important to autistic children and teenagers. They can find change and transitions difficult to cope with. They might like to eat, sleep or leave the house in the same way every time.
