Children with Asperger's Syndrome appear to show a propensity for imaginative solitary games, and some older children create imaginary worlds, especially when they cannot understand or be understood in the real world. On the positive side, they can develop a rich, enjoyable and imaginative inner life. On the other hand, some young children with Asperger's Syndrome may have problems distinguishing reality from fiction in books, television programs and films.

Things to remember:

	Imaginary worlds can be a form of escape and enjoyment.
	Provide opportunities for children to express their imaginary worlds.
	Teach them to ask for help when conflict occurs.
	Provide opportunities for them to help in various situations using their strengths.
