Evidence Based Strategies for Teaching Autistic Children How to Wait

Managing time and waiting can be a difficult skill to teach - especially in a special education setting! Use evidence-based strategies - such as visuals - while modeling how to divide up tasks, budget time, wait for upcoming events, or demonstrate appropriate behavior during waiting intervals.

Except for the very first thing about having to keep hands still, this is all extremely great!
Instead of having an anxious kid with a busy mind trying to stay completely motionless, instead telling them to keep their hands to themselves (not to use their hands to bother other people), but allowing them to move their hands a little as long as they are not bothering anyone, this will keep them calm and occupied.

I strongly disagree with the first one about hands.
If the child is nervous, they may stim; this calms them down, and does not involve keeping their hands completely still.
Also, if the child is doing something imaginative (such as pretending to wash a window or play a musical instrument), then try to encourage them to do this. It encourages creative thinking, as well as keeping their brain engaged.

Yep - that's why there are options and choices for what to do with your hands! You could customize depending on the child's needs.
