These two social stories are created to help explain autism to a child who has a sibling with ASD. With one version tailored for a brother and another for a sister, each story uses compassionate language and engaging illustrations to help children understand what autism is and how it affects their sibling.

Each story provides comfort, understanding, and practical guidance, helping children build a strong, supportive relationship with their sibling who has autism. Whether for a brother or sister, these books foster love, empathy, and awareness within the family.

Why Is This Social Story Helpful?
Social stories use a gentle and reassuring tone to teach children about social situations in a way that’s easy to understand. They are particularly useful for:
• Children who struggle to grasp social concepts.
• Learning social skills, social cues, and appropriate responses.
• Providing guidance on expectations, emotions, and problem-solving.
• Supporting autistic children who may find social interactions challenging and benefit from clear, structured explanations.

How to Use This Story Effectively
• Create a focused environment - Read the story in a quiet space with minimal distractions.
• Read it regularly - Start by reading it twice, then revisit it often to reinforce learning.
• Incorporate it into daily routines - Use the story as part of a structured schedule.
• Use it when needed - If the child struggles with apologising, read the story at relevant moments (without making it feel like a punishment).
• Encourage and praise - Keep the experience positive, reinforcing good behavior with encouragement.

Durability & Reusability
For long-term use, consider laminating and binding the pages or placing them in a display book. This allows for repeated reading and reinforcement, making the lesson more effective over time.
