Against a blue background with Reframing Autism logo at the top and knotwork in the bottom right, a white title reads 'Tips to Reduce Demands for the PDAer in Your Life'. Beneath, a list of text boxes with switch bullet points read: 'Introduce play and creativity. Including our interests and novelty can make transitions easier. Give us choice and control to preserve our autonomy: by giving us buy-in, you invite our collaboration. Offer to be our ‘body double’ and join us in the task to lighten our load. A job shared is a job halved. Speak declaratively rather than commandingly. We feel safer when you value us equally. Avoid punishments and incentives. They can make your love or acceptance feel conditional. Pick your battles: focus on achieving the end goal, rather than taking the perfect path to get there.'
