Questions parents ask
How do I teach my autistic child to recognise their own name?
Print the card, laminate it, and stick it at your child's eye level — on their cupboard, study table or bedroom door. Every morning point to it and say 'Whose name is this?' Wait quietly for a response. Consistent daily exposure at the same spot builds name recognition faster than any worksheet.
Should I use the English or Hindi version first?
Start with the language your child hears most at home. One name in one script is enough for the first few weeks. Add the second script only after your child recognises the first one without help.
When can we start using the writing lines?
Only after your child can point to their name reliably. Then move to tracing one letter at a time, one line a day — never the whole name in one sitting. The card is meant to last months, not one week.
