In this story, Beau finds comfort in routines, gentle movement, and quiet spaces. You may notice Beau tapping his feet, spending time alone, or resting in his shell. These behaviors help him feel safe and regulated. For many autistic people, these kinds of movements and breaks are important tools for navigating a busy world.The animals in the pond learn something important: instead of asking Beau to change who he is, they make small, thoughtful changes to the environment. A quiet corner, clear expectations, and patient listening help Beau participate in ways that work for him.
