Going to the Doctor

Share this social story with your autistic child to prepare them for the doctor's office.

It’s time for my check-up at the doctor’s office. We have to check in at the front desk when we arrive. If there’s a wait, we’ll sit down until my name is called.
When it's my turn, I'll go into the exam room. The nurse might check:
-How tall I am
-my weight
-my blood pressure The doctor will then join us in the room. They might check:
-My ears
-the inside of my mouth
-my heart and lungs When I am doing, I can thank the doctor for helping keep me healthy.

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.
