Carol Gray's Social Stories approach is established as a particularly effective way of teaching social and vital skills to children on the autism spectrum. The book "My Social Stories Book" includes short narratives that guide children step by step through basic activities, such as brushing teeth, bathing, and adapting to new clothes. It also helps children understand different experiences, such as going to school, shopping, and visiting the doctor. The stories are aimed at preschool children aged two to six years and the book is useful for all young children, but especially for those on the autism spectrum.

"My Social Stories Book" contains more than 150 stories and is illustrated with line drawings by Sean McAndrew, which provide a visual complement to the text. A helpful introduction explains to parents and caregivers how to make the most of the book.
