As a recent graduate, I had the opportunity to work with a 24-year-old autistic individual, focusing on ensuring his safety, well-being, and happiness. My role involved creating a supportive environment where I engaged him in various brain-stimulating activities tailored to his interests and needs. These activities ranged from puzzles and memory games to art projects and interactive tasks, which helped promote cognitive development and encourage communication. I also made sure he had regular meals, maintained his personal care, and followed a routine that fostered comfort and stability. My experience working with patients with dementia also informed my approach, as I applied patience and understanding, recognizing the importance of individual needs and preferences in fostering a positive environment.
