Really would like some tips for making Christmas easier for my child who has high functioning autism and anxiety. She cannot tolerate noise and we have 4 younger children in our family who can be very noisy at times. I want to spend time with them but my child 14 years cannot cope even with the use of ear defender's. As 3 of these children are from one family it won't work to invite them separately as 3 is still too much for her. Can anyone think of a solution that I might not have thought of please.

Hi @dawno1967, I also just found this brilliant page on the NAS website: tips for the festive period, which may be worth a read.0
