A Neuroaffirmative Biting & Safety Social Visual Guide
Biting Is Not Okay is a structured social visual guide designed to support Autistic and neurodivergent children in understanding biting behaviours through clarity, emotional literacy, and regulation support.
This resource recognises that biting is often a form of communication linked to big feelings, sensory needs, or overwhelm. Rather than using fear, shame, or punishment, the guide provides clear explanations, visual reasoning, and supportive alternatives to help children understand why biting hurts others and what they can do instead.
Created by Flourish Autism Consultancy & Training, this guide is suitable for use across home, early years, school, and therapeutic environments.
A 15-page social visual narrative explaining:
What biting is
Why biting other people is not okay
How biting can hurt others physically and emotionally
Visuals showing the impact of biting on friendships and relationships
Clear explanations linking biting to big or confusing feelings
Visual scenarios showing school-based consequences in a neutral, factual way
Explicit visuals supporting friendship, kindness, and social safety
A dedicated section highlighting positive alternatives to biting, including:
Using words
Talking to friends
Eating food
Taking deep breaths
Consistent illustrations, simple sentence structures, and strong visual contrast
Autistic children and neurodivergent learners
Children who bite peers or adults
Learners with sensory or emotional regulation differences
Early years settings and primary classrooms
Parents, carers, educators, and SNAs
Therapists supporting behaviour through regulation and understanding
