Hello
Has anyone used a good social story for the playground?
I can find a few about asking to join in a game which might help.
Specifically DS (6, ASD, mainstream school with very little support this year compared to last year) is struggling when he can't see any 'friends' and doesn't know what to do with himself.
He then always defaults to looking for someone who is 'not a friend' and deliberately provoking them by chasing them or hurting them (and then I suppose turning himself into a bully
)
He describes exactly the above as what he does (looking for a non-friend to hurt) so he knows he does it, but says he can't stop his brain from doing it when he's bored / doesn't know what to do. He's always struggled with this in the playground.
School have social stories but I just don't think they are specific enough. He's so literal that unless the situation described is exactly what happens to him then he doesn't see that it applies (or just can't retain what has been described).
I want to do one for school and get them to read it to him every.single.playtime as this is the only way he might remember I think.
It almost needs to be a combination of not hurting / asking to join in a game? (Also a lot of the not hurting ones say about hurting friends - DS then says 'well I don't hurt my frindds, just my non-friends' and so in his mind that's ok then!)
Thank you!
