I found "Atlas of the Heart" by Brené Brown to be pretty good for providing language for feelings and communicating with others. It's not specifically for autism, nor specifically for teens.
It was helpful for me as I was leaning more into "embodying" my emotions, that is to just observe how you feel in your body in different situations. A simple example "Do you like cats?", is usually a yes. Is there a sensation in your chest? Face? Back? etc. It's very useful for helping parse more complicated feelings if you have practiced embodying fundamental ones. Then to communicate with others what you are feeling requires mouth words, and that's where Atlas of the Heart was very useful.
