Christmas With Your Grandchild
A free guide for grandparents whose grandchild finds Christmas hard. No diagnosis needed. Why Christmas fills the bucket so fast, how to plan the day with the parents, and what to say when relatives don't understand.
I'm Nat Rowsell, Counsellor and Neurodiversity Coach, and granny to two autistic grandsons. I wrote this guide because Christmas used to be hard in our family too.

Christmas is meant to be the happiest day of the year, yet for many of our grandkids it's the hardest.
The noise, the change, the presents and the relatives all arrive at once. You don't need to change all of Christmas. A few small changes, planned with the parents, can make a real difference.
Inside the guide
- Why Christmas fills the bucket so quickly
- How to notice the build-up early, in them and in you
- How to plan the day with the parents
- Christmas food and presents without the battle
- What to say when relatives don't understand
- Looking after everyone after the big day, plus a printable Christmas Plan card
