Imagination-Based Mindfulness Activities to Calm Yourself, Build Independence, and Connect with Others. Teens with Autism are natural observers - able to study, imitate, and learn social behavior. This Playbook is designed to bolster these strengths with mindfulness strategies and role-playing scripts. It also helps teens learn to reduce anxiety, manage emotions, be more aware in the present moment, and connect with others. This unique, strengths-based approach helps teens on the spectrum (including Asperger's Syndrome) develop social skills, strengthen communication, and thrive. Each chapter has custom-designed activities to work with the unique perspectives, sensory processing, neurological strengths and challenges these teens encounter in the social world.
