I have been creating my own social stories using pictures of my son and clip art pictures that you can access via microsoft office, has images of most things and you can type up your own wee stories and include your childs name and picture in it. Dont know why I did not think of this before, give it a try

I adore Social Stories! I use them quite a lot with my clients and you can find lots of information on how to write them.
Basic guidelines are provided by NAS:

I made mine about dinosaurs as that is my boys obsession and his first story was all about meeting a polite dinosaur and I built in to the story the behaviours I want him to stop in public. Worked a treat. Trying a story about over eating next, then dentist, then doctor, then shops, then buses, then trains, then strange dogs, then policemen, the list goes on, I think i might be writing for the rest of my life.
