The New Social Story Book

Carol Gray

Over 150 social stories that teach everyday social skills to children with Autism or Asperger's Syndrome and their peers.

A note from SWAN: ‘Asperger’s Syndrome’ is no longer used as a diagnosis and the term “high-functioning” is harmful, as it minimises the varied support needs of autistic people.  SWAN does not endorse these terms, but recognises that this resource contains other useful information.
