As those with experience know，children with special needs can require extra help during the holidays.__6__ Here are some suggestions that may help.
Allow the child to have as much of their routine as possible.A treasured stuffed animal by the child's side can go a long way towards helping him or her feel centred in the busy holiday rush.A beloved blanket can help a child who feels upset feel secure.
Parents like their children to look good，but remember that sensory issues can cause a child discomfort，which can lead to a breakdown.__7__Soft cottons and velours (天鹅绒) are comfortable.Avoid nylon and netting.Not all children with special needs have a problem with these，but if yours does，sacrifice fashion for peace of mind for you both.
Limit holiday parties and try to keep to a regular bedtime.Have familiar foods available for the child，amid all the other holiday choices.If entertaining at home，help the child go through his or her toys and put away the most important ones.__8__Another alternative is to set out toys in a common area that are okay to share.
__9__Crowds and noise can be bad for kids with autism (自闭症)．If you must shop，stick to smaller stores away from the large metropolitan malls.
Consider reducing the amount of presents.Kids don't care as much as parents do about the number of gifts.For the child with autism，who may have a limited attention span，set him up for success.__10__ The holidays can be a magical time.With a bit of planning，the holidays can be memorable and successful for your child.
A．These are toys no one else can use.
B．Concentrate on the fun of the gifts rather than the quantity. C．Compromise with clothes that look good，but feel good，too. D．The more toys you have，the happier they will feel.
E．The lack of routine，novel situations and unexpected guests can throw off their peace.
F．Pay special attention to what your child likes most.
G．Try to avoid taking the child for shopping during this time of year.
