About This Product

I Am Autistic Social Story is a 5-page teaching resource explaining what it means to be autistic. Using a reassuring tone and easy-to-understand language, this social narrative describes autism spectrum disorder to children, including its challenges and strengths. Teachers can implement this resource in multiple ways - read aloud to the whole class, in small groups, as an individual assignment, or sent home for parents. The story helps autistic students better understand themselves while also educating neurotypical peers about respecting differences. Print pages in a display book or laminate and bind for durability since social stories work best when reviewed repeatedly over time. The clipart visuals boost comprehension of the textual content.
