The Conflict-Reduction Script Pack provides six ready-to-read scripts for situations where verbal communication under stress is difficult. Each script is written in plain, calm language and is designed to de-escalate tension, communicate needs clearly, and reduce the risk of misunderstanding in civic and public encounters.
Who this is for
Autistic people who find it difficult to find the right words in high-stress situations, or who experience communication shutdown under pressure.
What it contains
- Six scripts covering: requesting more time, asking for written communication, explaining a sensory need, requesting a support person, declining to answer without legal representation, and ending an interaction safely
- Each script includes a usage tip explaining when and how to use it
- Scripts are formatted in large, easy-to-read text for use under stress
- Teal quote-box formatting for quick visual identification
How to use it
- Read through all six scripts before you need them so they feel familiar
- Print the pack and keep it accessible — in your bag, wallet, or phone
- When in a high-stress situation, find the relevant script and read it aloud or hand the page to the other person
- You do not need to memorise the scripts — the point is to have them ready
Tips
- Practise reading the scripts aloud at home so they feel natural
- You can adapt the wording to suit your voice — the structure is what matters
- Keep a digital copy on your phone so you always have access
- Share the pack with a trusted person who can read a script on your behalf if needed
