Social Stories

Rorua

Does anybody use social stories to improve social communication skills in children with ASD? I am a PhD student trying to develop an application for building, implementing and assessing social stories. I would be grateful for any suggestion from people with experience in autistic therapies.

  • Hi all.

    Thats one of the things my son hates, he is 16, he always says to me why do they talk to me like a little kid, its amazing for someone that doesnt get most social norms doesnt read body language etc he gets when he is being spoken to like a 3 year old and another thing he hates is how they use false smiles it freaks him out and he thinks they just look odd. so then he gets either bored or angry or scared or confused and  so then switches off, so gets no help.Just talk to him and explain things, he will understand if you give him the time and chance.

    Yes situations need to be broken down and all the steps explained but it should also be age appropriate.

    However i do think If I had access to these 10 years ago then they may of been a good help for him because it would be age appropriate but not now. Many things like morals and responsibilities are taught to all children of that age through stories so why not social situations and norms.
