Here are my resources on stranger danger. If a link doesn't work, remove any blank spaces from the address. If it still doesn't work, let me know. Not all resources are appropriate for all ages. Private body parts: http://www.drpbody.com/images/personalsafety_coloring_page.p df - private parts are easily explained as people's "bathing suit area". Coloring page for this concept. http://www.autism.org.sg/public_html/html/publications/junne ws2003_rev.pdf - includes visual aids, what to do when a stranger offers you a ride (page 6) and how sexual abuse can involve various body parts (for example, eyes, by forcing you to watch).
Social stories: http://www.cheri.com.au/PDF_Files/professionals/Whatisasocia lstory.pdf - short social story on page 4 about who to talk to at the store (only to people we know, like mom and dad, and we can say hello and thank you to the cashier) http://www.pent.ca.gov/05PosEnvInt/dIndividual/strangersocst ory.doc - social story with pictures that introduces the concept of "safe strangers" like emergency personnel. http://www.thegraycenter.org/socialstorywriting.cfm - from Carol Gray, the creator of Social Stories.

Social circles: This website explains the concept of social circles. I've heard of color coding them so family gets the green light, acquaintances a yellow light, and strangers a red stop light. http://www.autism-help.org/communication-social-circles-auti sm.htm Video to purchase: You can see a trailer for the Safe Side video here: The video includes 7 "hot tips for cool kids". 1. Keep your Safe Side Adult close. 2. Don’t open the door! 3. Beware of tricks. 4. Don’t Know? Don’t talk. 5. Create a Safe Side Circle. 6. Know your Safe Side Adults. 7. Don’t go without asking.
