Celebrating autistic identity, strengths, and individuality
Our Positive, Affirming Colouring Sheets are designed to do more than just fill time — they offer a gentle, creative way for autistic children and young people to see themselves reflected in positive, respectful, and empowering messages.
These colouring sheets celebrate autistic identity, recognise strengths, and promote self-acceptance, while also supporting emotional regulation and calm.
They are free to download and can be used at home, in schools, or in therapeutic and support settings.

Autistic children and young people
Parents and carers supporting wellbeing and self-confidence

Professionals working in neuro-affirming ways
They work particularly well for children who benefit from quiet, low-pressure activities and positive reinforcement.
Why We Created Them
Many autistic children grow up surrounded by messages that focus on what they find difficult, rather than recognising who they are and what they bring to the world.
We created these Positive, Affirming Colouring Sheets to help shift that narrative.
Each sheet is designed to reinforce the message that being autistic is not something to be fixed — it is part of who a person is. By combining creativity with positive language, these colouring sheets support self-esteem, emotional safety, and a sense of pride in autistic identity.
Our aim is to offer a small but meaningful way for children to see themselves represented positively and to experience calm, creativity, and affirmation at the same time.
How to Use These Colouring Sheets
Use them during calm times or emotional regulation breaks
Offer them as a choice, not a demand
Allow children to colour in their own way — there is no right or wrong
Use them alongside conversations about strengths and individuality, if appropriate
They can be printed or used digitally, depending on what works best for the child.
