Sometimes My Words Hide | Autism Friendly Social Story | Printable PDF for Communication Confidence

Support your child when finding words feels difficult.

Sometimes My Words Hide is a gentle, neurodiversity-affirming social story designed for children who sometimes struggle to express themselves. Whether a child is experiencing anxiety, selective mutism, communication differences, or simply needs extra time to process, this story reassures them that it’s okay if their words don’t always come easily.

Through simple, comforting language and calming illustrations, children learn that communication can happen in many different ways and that they are never defined by how much—or how little—they speak.
