Adolescence, Asperger's and Acting: Can Dramatherapy Improve Social and Communication Skills for Young People with Asperger's Syndrome?

Abstract

This article examines the structures and processes of a Dramatherapy group with young people with Asperger's syndrome, and autistic spectrum disorder. It focuses on a narrative constructed around the story of one adolescent's journey from being an isolated individual with severe social and communication difficulties, to a confident and communicative young man. Practice-based evidence of the broader group picture in the form of individual outcomes is presented through the assessment, evaluation and final outcomes of all the group participants.
