Hello and welcome to AspieMom.com. I am the proud mother of a ten year old daughter who was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome in 2006. I love to talk to others who have Aspie children. I feel it is important to learn all we can not only so we can cope as parents but so we can help the kids cope as well.
Social Stories
Written by Jill on January 2, 2008 – 11:16 am -Something Kiddo’s social worker wants us to try is writing social stories. They can be helpful for kids that tend to be anxious about new and/or stressful situations. It helps them to understand what is to be expected. I am going to get started on one with Kiddo hopefully next weekend. Since we are moving in a month and this is a source of major anxiety for her, the social worker thought it would be a good idea to try and write a social story. Kiddo is not the least bit interested though but I’m hoping I can gain her interest as I go along with it. The best source on social stories would be Carol Gray.
The Gray Center is also a fantastic resource for Asperger’s Syndrome and other ASDs. They have a selection of books and other materials available for purchase that I wish I had found sooner.
