Grounded in
proven methodology.

Mystoria follows Carol Gray's Social Story criteria — the gold standard used by therapists and educators worldwide since 1991.

What are Social Stories?

Social Stories are short, personalized narratives that describe a situation, skill, or concept in a way that is meaningful and supportive for autistic individuals. They use specific sentence types and ratios to present information gently and accurately.

Unlike generic children's stories, Social Stories follow strict criteria that make them effective as an evidence-based intervention — and Mystoria enforces these criteria automatically.

  • First-Person Perspective

    Stories use "I" and "my" to help the child connect personally with the narrative.

  • Descriptive, Not Directive

    At least 80% descriptive and perspective sentences, with gentle suggestions — never commands.

  • Positive & Literal Language

    Describes what to do (not what not to do), using concrete words — no idioms or metaphors.

  • Reassuring Tone

    Uses qualifiers like "sometimes" and "usually" — creating safety, not pressure.

Simple for you.
Meaningful for them.

Creating a personalized social story takes just a few taps.

1

Describe the situation

Tell Mystoria about the routine or situation your child needs help with — a doctor visit, a new classroom, bedtime.

2

Personalize

Add your child's name, preferences, and comfort level. Mystoria adapts the language and detail to fit.

3

Read together

Share the story with your child before the event. Revisit it anytime to build familiarity and confidence.
