The main thing to consider when you are tacking these kinds of targets is what the mission plan goal will be. Given that the target is also related to autism, the goal might be different than if you were tackling the same target with a typically developing child.
For example, if you are developing a mission plan for a fear that has an auditory sensory component, the goal might be for the child to experience the setting or situation and the sound (like school assembly, fireworks, public restrooms), but with the help of noise-cancelling headphones. Even though this might sound like a “fix-it,” or something your child may do to help them feel more calm at first without actually facing their fears (as discussed in Module 7), we would think of this as more of a “coping behavior,” because it would help your child live a full life.
