A Therapy Center for Autistic Girls & Women
She Rocks the Spectrum
Sample Scripts Cheat Sheet
Scripted phrases sound unromantic until you try them. The script removes the cognitive load of phrasing under pressure. Agree on 2-3 phrases per category in advance, in writing, when the topic isn't loaded.
Safety note: This worksheet is for consensual relationships where both partners can say yes, no, wait, or stop without punishment. Do not use this worksheet to pressure sexual activity. If there is fear, coercion, retaliation, active abuse, trauma flooding, pain, shutdown, or dissociation, pause and use this with a qualified therapist.
How to use this worksheet
Read through the sample phrases. Star the ones that sound like you. Cross out anything that won't work — don't keep what won't get said. Write your own in your own voice. Practice them out loud, low-stakes (in the car, while doing dishes) — get them in the mouth.
