Simple is the way to go when severe anxiety takes hold

As we went out today Ellie told me she wanted to go to Gregs cafe and have an iced bun and a hot chocolate. Quickly I made a folder, 'Gregs cafe' and literally just put the sentence order of food she wanted, this meant far less anxiety when communicating to the staff at the bakers. Ellie doesn't like to press the sentence bar yet, she prefers to show it to whomever, but that's fine, we can work on the voice side of things later.
