Summary
Great job! This module covered some things that are more difficult than other materials and you made it through to the end! This week, we talked about how to make mission plans for anxiety that is closely related to certain features of autism, including wanting to stick to a routine and having trouble with sensitivity to lights, sounds, feelings, or other “sensory” experiences.
- When anxiety related to autism starts to become a problem in your and your family’s life, then it can be helpful to make mission plans and work on it.
- When you work on fears or anxiety that is related to autism, it is important to:
- Carefully decide on a mission plan goal that you would want to achieve and you would feel comfortable with.
- Make mission plans more gradual with many small steps.
- Feel free to get creative when you are making more gradual mission plans! Brainstorm the ways you can use audio clips, pictures, or videos.
Over the next week:
- Keep practicing steps in your mission plan.
- If you and your parent think you need a new mission plan for anxiety related to autism, make a new one using the Mission Plan Planning Worksheet.
