Touching Myself (Masturbation in Public) Social Story
A social story for children who are masturbating or touching themselves in public. This story aims to be understanding and positive and not to make the child feel they like they are being reprimanded but rather to explain that although what they have been doing is okay, it is something that can be done only in private and not in front of others.
The point of a social story is to use a patient and reassuring tone to teach children about social situations in a way that can be easily understood. Social stories can be useful for any child who is struggling to understand a situation or concept or needs help to understand a social skill or social cue, expectations, perspectives, common responses or is troubled about an upcoming event but social stories are particularly useful for children on the autistic spectrum for whom social cues can be challenging and who often suffer anxiety if they do not know what to expect from a situation.
These books should be used over and over to reinforce the point so I would suggest either putting the pages into a display book or laminating and binding them.
