Starting School: A Social Story for Autistic Children
Starting school is a big step - especially for children who thrive on routine and predictability.
This reassuring social story is designed especially for autistic children around age 5, using simple language and calming, first-person "I" statements to walk them through a typical school day.

From waking up and saying goodbye at the school gate to learning, playing, and coming home again, this story helps children understand what to expect - and reminds them that it's okay to feel nervous.
Because every day gets a little easier... and every day, they grow a little braver.

Perfect for reading at home or in early years settings, this story supports transitions with kindness, structure, and understanding.
