Social Stories

​A social story is a short, structured narrative that explains a situation, routine, or expectation in a clear and supportive way. It is designed to help autistic and neurodivergent individuals understand what may happen, why it is happening, and what choices or responses might be helpful. Social stories are commonly used to reduce uncertainty, support emotional regulation, and build confidence in new or challenging situations.

Here, you will find a range of social stories that have been written by ASNL staff, students and volunteers as supportive tools for a variety of situations.
