       1. I CAN TOLERATE NEWNESS AND UNCERTAINTY & ADAPT TO CHANGE

       Part 1: Managing newness, unfamiliarity and uncertainty
       I am willing to do things in a different way than I am used to.
       I will give new experiences a try e.g. starting a new hobby or club. I understand it may not feel
       comfortable at the start but will get easier with time.
       I can manage meeting new people or being paired with or sitting next to someone I do not know.
       When something is new or unfamiliar, I can remind myself that one day it will feel normal e.g. If I move
       house/school, I know one day it will feel just as comfortable and familiar as the home/school I am in now.
       I cope ok with uncertainty, e.g. not knowing which class I will be in next year, talking it through if I need
       to. I focus on what I can control.
       I manage when something is not definite or is not clear cut / black and white.
       Part 2: Coping with the unexpected and adapting to change

       I can cope when rules change.
       I manage and adapt ok when things change or do not happen as I was expecting.
       I can cope ok when routines change e.g. when I need to sit in a different place to my normal one or go to
       a club on a different day.
