Social Story for 9 year old?

Hi All. My DS teachers have suggested I make a 'Social Story' to assist my DS getting ready for school. He was diagnosed with Visual and Auditory Perception (disorder last name I think but cannot remember.) In year 3 ehen a fantastic temp teacher covered maternity and he recognised DS struggle with learning new words and essentially Phonetics. No other problems. Has a support plan at school.

Now at 9 they are concerned about his behavoiur; so am I a little; acted out something he was asked to do by so called friends and was given a red card. Called in etc. Started using bad language in frustration or ask him something and he walks of muttering gutter language. No laughter from him to indicate thinks funny. If you question him about behaviour he doesn't understand why what he did or said is wrong, or show remorse. Gets upset as usually a very kind, loving, caring boy .

School getting an education behavioural specialist to look/ assist during a school day. This will be in September term.

What am I supposed to do in the meantime! Help needed with Social Story. Also for washing hands wiping bum after toilet. It's weird as he knows what to do as says " oh yes sorry" or lies and says "I have" when clearly hadn't.

Sorry for long rant. Hard when previously he was a little immature but lovely. Put that down to older siblings and losing a close family member 3 years ago. My DM. Help! Hmm

Ellie, those boards aren't well-used, the SNChat one I linked to is busy, as is SNChildren

Thank you so much again ladies. If truth be told the only Autistic person that I knew had it was very that way. A bit like the famous Rain man film. Another one that acts normal 90 percent then flips out the rest. Shameful I know. Don't even know what high functioning. Sorry

I know some children who found the Pictello app really useful. You can use your own photos and voice to create social stories and visual timetables.

Hello again. My DS has not been diagnosed yet but sounds like he exhibits quite a few traits now.
