Managing co-occurring autism and a learning disability can take practice. Here are some helpful strategies:

• Maintain a regular routine and schedule. Autistic people can feel supported by consistency in their routines and daily schedules.
• Use visual aids. Visual aids and images can help with instruction, as traditional communication can be difficult for some autistic people.
• Create a supportive environment. Strategies like positive reinforcement can help autistic people who also have learning disabilities thrive. 
• Remove sensory triggers or add sensory aids, when possible. It's common for many autistic people to be over or underwhelmed by certain sensory input, like certain textures or sounds.
