Making Christmas easier for my child who has high functioning autism and anxiety

Really would like some tips for making Christmas easier for my child who has high functioning autism and anxiety. She cannot tolerate noise and we have 4 younger children in our family who can be very noisy at times. I want to spend time with them but my child 14 years cannot cope even with the use of ear defender's. As 3 of these children are from one family it won't work to invite them separately as 3 is still too much for her. Can anyone think of a solution that I might not have thought of please.

Hi @dawno1967, I also just found this brilliant page on the NAS website: tips for the festive period, which may be worth a read.
