Autism

Sometimes it is particularly difficult to understand how the other side feels.

The Gefühlsmonster cards can help people with autism to express their feelings non-verbally and thus to maintain contact.

The Gefühlsmonsters have proven to be useful as signals for both stressful and pleasant situations. The selected signals (cards) indicate when the individual’s limit has been reached and effectively communicate non-verbally in crisis situations in the family and with carers.

The combination of facial expression and body posture of the Gefühlsmonsters can be an important tool for people with autism to learn to understand and distinguish different feelings.

With the Gefühlsmonster cards people with autism can:

  • Show their feelings non-verbally to their environment
  • Show their attitudes towards particular events or places by selecting a Gefühlsmonster along with a photo of their e.g. workplace or public places such as public transport, sports grounds, the supermarket or cinema
  • Select a Gefühlsmonster to express how they view the people around them
  • Assess the feelings of their carers or other persons who accompany them
  • Learn body postures that accompany different feelings. E.g. for children at school to prevent other children from misinterpreting the body signals of the child with autism
