Abstract
This chapter considers the theme of creativity in people with autism. It briefly investigates the relationship between autism and creativity, focusing on geniuses and autism. Following from this, an educational experience designed to enhance the socio-communicative skills of autistic people is presented and discussed. This experience demonstrates that a creative approach based on social stories, drama, and programmable toy robots is not only able to stimulate the communication skills of autistic people, but also their creativity. From the experience, it also emerged that the combined use of digital technologies, programmable toy robots, and creative practices based on social stories and drama could open new perspectives for therapeutic interventions in the autism scope.
