Abstract
Living through the global COVID-19 pandemic has caused major disruptions in everyday life. For many children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), this disruption has impacted academics, mental health, and ASD-related support services. Now, in this post COVID-19 quarantine time, routines are shifting back to pre-COVID-19 life, while individuals are still dealing with the effects of quarantine. Informed by a review of the literature, a compilation of social stories was created for Spanish bilingual children with ASD. The social stories can be used to aid educators and families of children with ASD in teaching self-regulation skills, strategies to manage worry and anxiety, and personal health and hygiene routines in this post COVID-19 quarantine time. Although a core symptom of ASD is social-communication deficits, the literature reveals that bilingualism does not interfere with language development among children with ASD. As such, the social stories are written in English and Spanish to provide accessibility to Spanish-speaking families, as well as promote consistency of information within the Spanish-speaking home and English-speaking school settings.
