[QUOTE="buddy, post: 469388, member: 12886"] Hi, Hi, sorry I was out today two doctor appts and helping my sister move. difficult child got his braces off! no more pain ea. time we adjust them, no more broken brackets, now to suffer the retainer...who knows if he will be able to not break that! Anyway, social stories are a way to teach rules, prepare for events, explain social issues and many other things. I once wrote one for a boy who was afraid to use undies in school. (preschool age deaf/asperger's little boy). I wrote a story and printed it with online pictures of a pair of undies. I am Joe. I know how to use the toilet now! All the kids in my class wear underwear under their jeans. I am going to wear underwear too. I am a big boy now and I am all done with diapers at school. ---not exactly that but you get the idea. Some people follow a very strict protocol for social stories, I have found you just do the least number of words, sentences possible to get point across. by the way, that kid brought undies to school and was BESIDE himself proud. He just needed prep and awareness. (my asst. principal thougth I was nuts when she saw it next to me at a meeting, laughed her head off...it was a school for the deaf and not any kids with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), she thought differently the next day!) So, my son has some for blowing his nose, coming in when mom calls, once i wrote one for Christmas because my sistes had a bright idea to play a game where all the kids got to pick little prizes and I knew it would make him crazy. But he did it after prep and since he doesn't like me giving him rules and directions, I stick them in a report holder ...like one of those books with plastic page holders, and just swap them out as I need to.
