You can personalize your Social Stories™ by adding your own photos. Try keeping a digital camera (many mobile phones have this technology now) on you all the time and make taking photos something you do without thinking, though always ask permission if, for example, you want a photo of the dentist or shopkeeper and explain why.

Undoubtedly your single most valuable resource is the computer/internet and printer even if your child himself won’t be using it. For homes without this technology there are varied routes to getting it other than the high street. Look for non-profit organizations who refurbish computers for charities and individuals, or your local computer repair shop or college may be a good starting point. Shop around for one of the ‘all in one’ telephone and broadband deals and set about making the most of amazingly easy access to essential autism information and support. If you already have a home computer, make time to reassess whether you are utilizing it to its fullest advantage – you may be surprised at what you’re missing!

Note: Websites for sourcing toys and activities, therapeutic interventions and support groups can be found at the back of the book.
