There's a lot of uncertainty and anxiety going around, we feel it, so absolutely our neurodivergent kids feel it too. If you've got some cardboard lying around or can gain access to some, this is an excellent idea for a safe space to encourage kids to relax in. Add fairy lights (poke them through the top like a Light Brite) for a night sky effect and some more sensory input.
