This material, “Thomas Learns to Say NO,” is designed to help children and young people with autism develop reading comprehension and essential life skills. Through the story of Thomas, who learns to say “No” and set boundaries, children can better understand the importance of self-care and respecting their own limits. The accompanying questions reinforce comprehension, while role-playing scenarios provide practical exercises to apply what they have learned in real-life situations. These activities aim to empower children to make confident decisions, manage their time and energy effectively, and recognize when to assist others genuinely in need.
