Well common sense (currently some peoples' Holy Grail in this thread) says I can't say what would have worked as, like the teaching assistant I have no experience on autistic children. But as a parent (perhaps my advantage over you here?) I do know what scares children.

The room she was in was 16 by 7 feet, had no windows and was sparsely decorated. I suspect her own bedroom (which I'm sure she'd have been used to having spent lots of time in it) would look different.
