Editor's Notes and Comments:
Brief Book Summary:
Carol Gray's social stories have been used all over the world to teach social and life skills to children on the autism spectrum. Taking the form of short narratives, the stories in My Social Stories Book take children step-by-step through basic activities such as brushing your teeth, taking a bath and wearing a safety belt in the car. These stories are written for preschoolers aged 2-6 and form a useful primer for non-autistic as well as autistic children.
My Social Stories Book contains almost 200 stories, arranged in sets, and is illustrated throughout with line drawings by Sean McAndrew.

It is a great book to do with children that need that extra little help in how to deal with socialsituations

I bought the book after reading heaps of info about Carol Gray and her social stories. Unfortunately the book could possibly benefit 3 year olds and young 4 year olds. Certainly children any older will not get any benefit from it. For me it was a complete waste of money and I have since donated the book to the local library.

this book has relevant stories for the appropriate disorder and I expected it to be useful for the child in mind. However in my case it was the child who decided whether it was useful or not. He has no interest in them at all.They're boring is his comment--he's 5--and refuses to participate. what he would prefer is the 'real' book--far more colourful and exciting.Maybe some colour graphics would make them more appealing.I purchased them as they were recommended by our psychologist.

The book itself was ok, but what I bought it for was to use it during school time and it didn't have much to use at school. What I needed was social stories I could use with my students at school situations. For home and outside of school there was some great social stories but not enough for me.
Rated by buyers -
As an individual unfamiliar with the nuances of AS, I found "My Social Stories Book" particularly effective in identifying, conveying and demystifying what is mundane for most people, but what can be overwhelming for those with AS. Sean McAndrew's brilliant translation of the text via child-friendly illustrations relevant to their respective scenarios are what make a publication like this one truly work. Much like crosswalk symbols, these illustrations must be absolutely simplistic in order to be unmistakeably understood. Much respect to McAndrew who rendered the abstract idea of divorce in such tender illustrative grace.
