Yksilöt, joilla on autismikirjon häiriö, viihtyvät rutiinilla ja rakenteella, mutta rutiini ei aina ole mahdollista. Joskus tapahtuu siirtymä tai odottamaton tapahtuma, joka muuttaa rutiinia. Sosiaalisten tarinoiden sisällyttäminen yleisistä tulevista siirtymävaiheista ja odottamattomista tapahtumista voi auttaa valmistautumaan oppilaita ja vähentämään muutosta.
