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 highlighting the colors and shapes of the fruits and making them extra delicious. In addition, the pictogram menu can help provide inspiration for what can be added to the usual menu.

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 development and abilities, you can customize the fruit pictogram menu so that the child looks at only one sheet, all the sheets or is given the option to choose from a few selected fruits.

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 a fruit on each card is recommended instead. You can find the maps under Pictograms.
