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 plans of action 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 related plans of action and work on it.
- When you work on fears or anxiety that are related to autism, it is important to:
- Carefully decide on a goal that you would want to achieve, and you would feel comfortable with.
- Make the plans more gradual with many small steps.
- Pay attention to flexible tools you can use to help you reach your goals related to these anxieties.
- Feel free to get creative when you are making more gradual plans! Brainstorm the ways you can use audio clips, pictures, or videos.
Over the next week:
- Keep practicing steps in your plans of action.
- If you and your parent think you need a new plan of action for anxiety related to autism, make a new one using the My Plan of Action Worksheet.
