For many, Thanksgiving is the only day of the year all loved ones are able to gather and give thanks. However, for many individuals with autism or other special needs, social gatherings can trigger a lot of stress and anxiety. To reduce the risk of breakdowns, I thought I’d provide a festive list of Thanksgiving apps to keep them occupied.
