The pictogram menu for autistic people is a unique tool that can significantly improve communication at home. As a parent of an autistic child, you know that one of the most frustrating things is when they want something but can’t express it. This often leads to meltdowns and confrontations, which thankfully can be avoided in most cases.

By introducing the use of pictogram menus, you empower your autistic child to make choices, express their wishes, have a say and improve their quality of life. It may take time to get used to them, but it’s worth it.

In addition to empowering autistic people to make their own choices, the menu helps appetite by presenting the different types of desserts with beautiful lines and colors and making them extra delicious. While we can all agree that desserts may not be the best thing you can choose to eat, remember that the purpose of the pictogram menu is to empower an autistic child/young person. In addition, many people with autism who are picky eaters or very picky eaters simply lack food. In such cases, desserts can be a necessary alternative to healthy food.

The pictogram menus with Danish texts address autistic people’s interest in letters and order and make it exciting for them to study the menu. This is when they really start to connect the pictures to the words, which strengthens their language.

Depending on the child’s/young person’s development and abilities, you can customize the pictogram menu of desserts so that the child/young person looks at the entire sheet or is given the option to choose from a few selected desserts.

If the child is challenged in a way that makes them really upset when they get a “no” or can’t navigate the options, the use of pictogram cards with only one dessert on each card is recommended instead. You can find the maps under Pictograms.
