Example autism bus ride social story

Sometimes I ride the school bus. I can wait with my class, step on carefully, and find my seat. The bus may sound loud or bumpy. I can keep my body safe, use a quiet voice, and look out the window or hold a comfort item. When the bus stops, I listen for directions and get off safely.
