There's lots of reasons to tell your child they're autistic, but I think it's also important to show them what it means to be autistic. That includes helping your child understand their own unique autistic traits, such as stimming.
This free printable social story explains autistic stimming to kids, highlighting some of its benefits.
About the Free Printable Stimming Social Story
This social story is all about the autistic trait of stimming and teaches your kids all about why stimming can be helpful. Or it might be perfect for sharing with any therapist who tries to stop your child's stimming...😉
Also, it is really hard to find good photos of something that might resemble stimming. I tried my best to use as many diverse kids as I could, but it was a challenge!
I highly suggest laminating the social story for durability. You can use binder rings to keep the social story together or store it in a binder. As an alternative to laminating, you could use sheet protectors in a binder. Or if you find yourself printing off lots of social stories, then this binding machine is a lifesaver!
