Social Stories - From the Autistic Perspective

Social Stories are a wonderful visual tool to use for Autistic children (really all children). BUT when the story is created through the Neurotypical lens it may work but at the expense of an Autistic not being able to be their authentic self. ALSO, they don't really learn WHY or the perspective of the Neurotyipcal person. Susan describes how to create a social story through the Autistic lens so it makes sense to the Autistic individual, doesn't shame them or make them change who they are, it truly teaches the skill/function. To learn more from Making Sense of Autism go to www.makingsenseofautism.com. We offer training, parent coaching, and many other great tools to support Autistic Individuals!

After an Autism diagnosis, something to consider from the Autistic perspective

"If I could increase the bond between child and parent, that made my day." THIS is what happens when we listen to our children and support the goals they hope to achieve. Listen to Susan's experience when she was a child.

Ask Miss Sue

Shut downs.... our initial reaction may be to tell a child or individual they need to do XYZ or answer the question because "I said so." Well that doesn't work and we're realizing it can break connections. Listen to Sue's answer!
