Visual timer for autism and ADHD

Some autistic people and people with ADHD prefer visual information because a changing visual can make the passage of time more concrete than verbal reminders alone. A visual timer may be useful for preparing for a transition, showing how long a task will last, or making a break feel predictable. Use it in whatever way is actually helpful for the person.
