Going to the cinema or any new environment can be challenging for some people with autism and preparation is very important.One way to prepare is by using a Social Story.
Social Stories are used to describe what is going to happen so people know what to expect and how to behave.
Write your own social story
You can download and personalise the
Social Story templates below and use it to plan your trip to the cinema.
Cineworld Social Story templete: Finding Nemo - Sunday 5th May
ODEON Social Story template: Epic - Sunday 19th May
We have included space for you to make this template personal to an individual and the cinema you are visiting. The person using the Social Story may prefer symbols rather than photos. Everyone is different!
If you would like to share your story with others please send it to autismfilms@dimensions-uk.org
Read a social story
Social Story for ODEON Trafford Centre is a guide to get you started, and was written by mum, Lynn Williams, in preparation for a trip to see Mr Popper's Penguin's screening, we hope that you find it useful.
