Frequently asked questions

This collection includes 15 printable bedtime social stories thoughtfully created for autistic and neurodivergent children. The stories explore bedtime routines, big feelings, worries, calming strategies, rest and emotional safety through gentle language and comforting illustrations.
What age group are these bedtime stories suitable for?

The stories are designed primarily for young children in the early and primary school years. Every child is different, so parents and carers can choose the stories that best match their child’s individual needs, understanding and bedtime routine.
How should I use the stories at bedtime?

Will these stories help my child sleep?

These stories are designed to support calm, predictability and emotional safety around bedtime, but every child’s sleep needs are different and results cannot be guaranteed. They are supportive resources and are not intended to replace medical, therapeutic or professional advice for ongoing sleep concerns.
