Created by the author to be highly structured, interesting and successful in encouraging the cognitive control of emotions. Designed to explore the mental world from a scientific perspective using the metaphor of the child being an astronaut or scientist exploring a new planet, as the author has noted that children with Asperger syndrome are often interested in exploration of the physical world, science and science fiction. Uses two Exploring Feelings programmes, one is designed to explore and manage anxiety, the other to explore and manage anger. Conceived as a treatment programme for anxiety disorder or anger management problem in children with Asperger's syndrome but the programme can be equally applied to children with High Functioning Autism and Pervasive Developmental Disorder, Not Otherwise Specified (PDDNOS).
