This study used qualitative case, case study methods to analyze the cases in detail. To assess the data’s naturalness, observations and interviews were used to gather the data. And to investigate the difficulties faced by autistic students writing poems. The research was done at a special school in Kuningan and included one student with autism among seven other students. Results indicated that autistic students utilized motivation in social-emotional strategies. It was also noted that students with autism found vocabulary, tenses, and rhymes to be a challenge in writing poems.
