Example autism dentist social story

Sometimes I go to the dentist. First I may wait in the waiting room. Then I go to a room with a big chair. The chair may move up or down. The dentist may use a small mirror, a bright light, or a toothbrush tool to look at my teeth. I can take a slow breath, hold my grown-up's hand, or ask for a short break. When the visit is finished, I can feel proud that I did a hard thing.
