From the beginning of the lock-down the advice coming our way stressed the importance of having a routine within our daily lives, even if we were confined to our homes. In this session we will discuss the nature of ‘routine’ with Dr Anne Emerson. Is it as important as people say –and if so, why?
Can understanding more about the nature of routine help us to adopt its positive aspects, without being overwhelmed by ‘sameness’? Anne builds on her work with people on the autism spectrum who experience a need for predictability, and consider the extent to which this applies more broadly.
