What to you mean by social imagination difficulties?

Students with autism can have difficulty with:

• understanding other people's thoughts, feelings and actions
• predicting 'What could happen next?'
• sense of danger
• engaging in imaginative play, although some students will have certain pretend play games they like to replay over and over
• change 
• unfamiliar situations

However difficulties with imagination must not be confused with lack of imagination/creativity, as some students with Autism/Aspergers can have a particular talent in a specific area.
