Abstract

Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are indicated to be weak against stress and anxiety (White et al., 2009) .In this study, four children with ASD participated. We adapted the intervention for children with ASD. The railway map was used as a measure of anxiety levels, because of subjects were interested in it. The purpose of this study is to investigate effectiveness of intervention that visualized about the degree of anxiety using the railroad map in children with ASD. The subjects proposed recent stressed events and fun events. To visualize the degree of anxiety and strategies solving anxiety events, they could evaluate them and communicate about their anxiety by the railroad map. We suggested that some of thechildren with ASD could reduce in anxiety by envisaging stressed events and their schedule. Children with ASD varied anxiety level and their anxiety expression. That showed children with ASD would express their degree of anxiety and other affects using the railroad map.
