#社交故事真的有用！
🌟 《社交故事，真的有用！这位妈妈给了我最感动的示范》🌟
💗在这里向 John 的妈妈致以深深的感谢。💗
💗她愿意分享自己的社交故事的片段内容，让其他家长从中受益
那一天，我再次被家长为了孩子付出和努力深深感动。
当 John， 一位6岁男孩第一次来到我的诊所进行发展评估时，他明显紧张不安，一面哭，一面不停地环顾四周，寻找可能的威胁。 （隐私保护声明：“John”是化名。）
但他的妈妈早就做好准备。
她轻轻拿出一本自制的小册子——一篇她亲手制作的 社交故事，并告诉我，她已经连续 两个星期每天 都读给他听，为那一天的就诊做准备。
短短几分钟后，John 逐渐放松下来。
他似乎感觉到今天的房间与以往不同——今天没有可怕的打针！
妈妈解释说：
“Dr Annie ，我特地为今天写了这篇社交故事。我已经连续两周、每天读给他听……社交故事对他真的很有帮助。”
她说得完全没错。
她的用心准备，让原本可能充满压力的就诊变得平稳、可控。
我们从这次经历中学到什么（也想分享给家长）
社交故事非常有效
它能帮助孩子——尤其是自闭症孩子——以可预测、具体的方式理解新的或困难的情境。
它能帮助孩子：
✅了解预期会发生什么
✅降低焦虑感
✅建立信心和安全感
💡 给家长的小建议
如果您的孩子在面对新情境时容易焦虑（如：看医生、理发、看牙医、旅行等），不妨试试阅读或制作社交故事。
以下是两个非常好的资源：

💗A huge thank-you to John’s devoted mommy for her effort—and for allowing us to share snapshots of her social story pages. Your dedication is inspiring. 💗
*This is John's FIRST visit to my clinic for developmental assessment. He is 6 year odl and has been receiving early intensive interventions for his social communication delay.
When “John” came in for his appointment, he was understandably nervous and on high alert, while crying he was scanning the room for ‘ threats’.
(“John” is an alias to protect privacy.)
But his wonderful mom was ready.
She gently took out a homemade booklet—a social story she had crafted herself—and told me she had been reading it to him every day for two weeks to prepare him for this visit.
Within minutes, John began to relax.
He seemed to realise this room felt different from past experiences—no dreaded needles today!
His mom explained:
“Dr. Annie, I made this social story to prepare him for today. I’ve been reading it every day for the past 2 weeks… social stories work really well on him.”
And she was absolutely right.
Her thoughtful preparation turned a potentially overwhelming appointment into a calm, manageable one.

Social stories are powerful and effective
They help children—especially autistic children—navigate new, uncertain, or challenging situations by giving them a clear, predictable storyline.
They can help:
✅Clarify expectations
✅Reduce anxiety
✅Build confidence

If your child struggles with new experiences (clinic visits, haircuts, dentist appointments, travelling, etc.), try using a social story.
It might be the key to a smoother, calmer outing for everyone.
