[QUOTE="Giulia, post: 531711, member: 14306"] I didn't mean that. You don't even need to buy them : you can have them home made. What I mean is that words to express feelings can be very abstract for a person with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). So you have to find a way on how can we get them more concrete, in order to make him grasp the concepts. As he love electronic stuff, you can use this obsessive interest as a support to teach him emotions and feelings. For example, you can use smileys available over the net. Smileys are used a lot over the net, and it can be a very good tool to start on how can we recognize emotions. You can also use photos in the magazines etc etc... The more concrete, the best. It does not mean you need to buy or spend a cent on it. A computer with Internet and a printer, laminate, and here we go !! If you want, I prepare you a sample of it.... Also, you can make an emotion scale, from 1 to 10. 1 means a little and 10 the strongest you've ever imagine. You need some craft, but you don't need to buy it. Good, but it is still a bit abstract for him. Don't be afraid of using more visually concrete systems, as I explained above. Your teaching seems to be quite abstract for him to grasp. Also, you may not need to buy social stories. You can write them, and create them right for your son. [/QUOTE]
