We know the traditional CBT tricks, but these are new modifications:
Adaptations to our original CBT program
(Wood, McLeod, & Sigman, 2000)
were based on
research & clinical experience in working with
children with ASD.

Examples of adaptations:

Expanded emotion education & thought
monitoring skills training using visual stimuli

Friendship skills for youth (Frankel et al., 1998)

Peer “buddy” and “playdate” programs at school
and home to increase social engagement

“Social coaching” at home and school

Independence / self-help skills focus
