"Using social skills stories can HELP you encourage and teach daily living
skills in children with autism and related conditions".
It is a fact that kids with autism don't always view the world as we do, and can
often become overwhelmed and stressed by noises, sensations, and activities that a typically developing child will think of as "everyday" or "normal."
Youngsters with ASD lack the theory of mind, often referred to social skills deficits, and it is because of this they struggle with social and communication difficulties.
A Lack social skills is a major issue in kids with autism and is common to all individuals on the spectrum. A youngster with ASD may be unable to read facial expression, body language or the thoughts and emotions displayed by others, this can lead to misunderstandings and social blunders.
Overcoming social skills deficits, or the theory of mind can be done through the use of visual supports for autism.
The most significant visual supports for autism and related conditions used are social skills stories, PECS and Flash cards.

Predominantly individuals on the spectrum are visual thinkers and learners, and will respond better to visual information or instruction, which is why Social skills stories are beneficial, a social skills story uses visual images and first person
