Yes. Nothing against those therapist but even when they explained nuances of human interaction, I still only grasped the most basic concepts: nice and rude.

Right after the Joplin tornado in 2011, I was shopping at Ashley furniture to furnish a new house after the one I lived in was gutted basically. I was inside with my folks but we all ended up unscathed cuz safe room. Anyway, an 8 year old boy who I never met in my life went up to me and gave me a giant hug.

Then went to hug the friend I was shopping with. I had friends back then believe it or not. His mom admonished him. My friend said, “it’s fine don’t worry about it.”

Little boy said he’s just being nice. The sales lady accompanying them went, “you ARE being nice.”

He clearly also can’t grasp concepts beyond nice and rude. I’m exactly like him but to a much lesser degree since I’m an adult. Hell, even 10 years ago in 2011, I was much lesser degree though I was just 22.

Point is, people want to do right and good. The way they go about it depends heavily on what they understand or not.
