Carol Gray's überarbeitete und erweiterte Sammlung von Social Stories bietet über 180 Geschichten, die Kindern mit und ohne Autismus soziale Fähigkeiten im Alltag näherbringen. Autistische Kinder haben oft Schwierigkeiten, soziale Regeln und Verhaltensweisen ihrer neurotypischen Altersgenossen zu verstehen. Viele dieser Regeln erscheinen aus ihrer Sicht unlogisch und unnötig. Social StoriesTM helfen, soziale Situationen zu beschreiben und geben hilfreiche Hinweise, um diese stressfreier zu erleben. Ursprünglich aus Experimentierfreude entstanden, haben Grays Social StoriesTM weltweit Anerkennung bei Eltern und Fachleuten gefunden und das Vertrauen von Kindern mit Autismus gewonnen. Jede der über 180 Geschichten behandelt eine soziale Situation, Fähigkeit oder einen Begriff, basierend auf Grays zehn Kriterien. Das Ziel ist, Informationen zu vermitteln, die ein echtes soziales Verständnis fördern. Das Buch bietet vorformulierte Geschichten sowie Anleitungen und Werkzeuge, um eigene Social StoriesTM zu erstellen. Alle Geschichten können mithilfe einer bereitgestellten CD-ROM in einem Word-Dokument bearbeitet und an individuelle Bedürfnisse angepasst werden.
