Using stories, flowcharts, cartoon images, and scripts has long been recognised as an effective way to help neurodiverse individuals, those experiencing anxiety, and those with additional learning needs to develop awareness of the thoughts, feelings, intentions, and motivations of others. These approaches aid in understanding emotions, recognising appropriate social behaviours within different contexts, and fostering meaningful friendships.
