Tips for Planning and Hosting Thanksgiving

You can host a great Thanksgiving by designing it around how your brain and body work best.

Many autistic hosts bring real strengths to a gathering: careful planning, attention to detail, honesty, and a talent for creating calm, predictable spaces.

• The Thanksgiving Hosting Guide is intended to be used as a menu, not a rulebook. Pick what helps you and skip the rest.
• The Thanksgiving Hosting Planner is to help move ideas from your head to paper.

Most importantly, do what works for you -- whether you're hosting, attending, or ordering in!
