Making mistakes in class
A social story about helping your autistic child overcome the frustration of making mistakes in class
Alex really enjoys learning maths in class.
During one of his classes, he was working on a problem and believed he had the correct solution, but as it turned out, he was mistaken. This made him feel upset and want to give up.
His teacher reminded Alex that it's okay to make mistakes and that his work doesn't need to be perfect. All she wanted was for him to try his best.
Alex felt a little better and decided to give the math problem another try. This time, he remembered his teacher's words and asked for help.
His teacher was happy to assist him, and together they worked on the problem.
Alex knew that it was okay to make mistakes and that asking for help was a sign of strength, not weakness.
