Keeping My Hands to Myself

Our social story teaches your autistic kiddo the importance of keeping our hands to ourselves and how to respect others.

Keeping my hands to myself: When I get excited, I might want to touch things that are not mine.
I might want to touch other people or their belongings.
But I need to remember that it's important to keep my hands to myself.
If I want to touch something that is not mine, I should first ask.
And if someone says, "No." then I will keep my hands to myself.
This makes my teacher, friends, and family feel happy and respected.
Keeping my hands to myself means I can touch my own: school supplies, clothes, hair, food, toys.

Social stories use simple langauge and clear visuals to walk your autistic child through situations like new routines, transitions, or social interactions. Reading them together ahead of time helps reduce anxiety, builds understanding, and makes unfamiliar moments feel more predictable and manageable.
