Great question! Research shows that nature-based interventions can be beneficial for autistic children. Studies highlight improvements in sensory processing, social skills, and emotional regulation through activities like gardening, forest therapy, and outdoor experiential learning (PMC, 2024).

For example, Marcus Autism Center notes that structured nature activities help kids develop new skills while fostering a connection to the environment. Programs like Italy’s "Biodiversity Custodians" project also demonstrated positive outcomes in engagement and teamwork (Children & Nature Network).

While nature isn’t a cure, it’s a supportive tool. You might explore local horticultural therapy groups or sensory-friendly outdoor programs. Let me know if you’d like specific resource links! 🌿
