book about manners for 7 year old

[GlitterKandinsky]

Can anyone recommend a book about manners, being polite, making social chit chat suitable for a 7 year old with ASD?

Wow. If it does not exist then I suggest that the mums and dads posting on here set about writing one.

The only difficulty is that kids are all so different.
Good Luck

Not a book...but we have been using some of these twee 'family rules' wall hangings with our dc.

Currently have a 'family rules' (be kind to each other, share your toys, remember you are loved, say thank you, blah blah) and a bathroom rules one: wash your hands, hang up your towel, flush, put down the seat, close the door etc

They are working well, thinking of getting some more!

We have 2 house rules on home made posters, one is If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing! And Please respect other people and their personal space!

Dd3 doesnt do social chit chat, she monolgues about her special interests.

I think it would be easier to make your own that buy a book because it would be personal. Your Ds could help you and then he might take ownership of it.

Good luck

I was hoping there was already a book like this out there!

The sort of thing I was looking for was a book about things people say in certain situations and why.

For example when someone asks "how are you?" What an appropriate response is.

I've found this one on amazon

here

but it's aimed at teenagers so is possibly not suitable for a 7 year old

Also the book would explain why people say things - so for example why someone might ask "how are you?".

I saw this on active convos & wondered if Richard Scarry's "Please & Thank you book" is still in print. Possibly a tiny bit young for a 7 year old but so funny (whilst getting the message over) that it could work?

(I have no experience of ASD).

Here on Amazon.

That's a lovely book magimedi but not really what I'm looking for.

Thanks for recommendations that book looks like a starting point at least bbkl
I wouldn't know how to go about doing a social story but I've heard of them.

Having looked for about an hour on amazon I am sensing a gap in the market here - there's loads for toddlers and infant age children and a few for teens but nothing for 7-11 year olds.
