Main description:

Young people with autism can be particularly susceptible to setbacks, often leading to depression and hopelessness. Social Stories(TM) introduce a different way of looking at common life setbacks, and offer tools to overcome these obstacles, build resilience and develop coping strategies for the future. This is the fourth volume in the Growing Up with Social Stories(TM) series, based on Carol Gray's highly effective Social Stories(TM) model. It shows how to identify the life challenges that a young person with autism finds the most difficult. This new guide demonstrates how to help individuals with autism deal with challenges specific to them, once these challenges have been acknowledged and understood. This book is an invaluable guide for learning to create personalised Social Stories(TM) that can be used time and time again to develop resilience in people with autism and help them to cope better with adversity.
