Autistic children may struggle with social interactions, but they can learn with practice and support.
Ways to Improve Social Skills:
- Structured Playdates – Teach turn-taking and sharing in a controlled setting.
- Model Social Behaviors – Show how to greet, ask questions, and respond appropriately.
- Use Visual Cues – Social stories and picture schedules can help children understand different scenarios.
- Enroll in Social Skills Groups – These provide opportunities for structured interactions with peers.
✅ What to do: Encourage interactions in a stress-free way and celebrate small progress.
