Ahhhh, but that's the thing with the autism spectrum - people on the spectrum can't generally learn subtle social stuff by observing, and "trying to pick up" stuff - it has to be specifically taught. This was a hard concept for me to "get" with my son, but once he started social skills classes, I realized how much he wasn't just "picking up" by being part of the world....

(((((((((((((((((Tao)))))))))))))))))))))))))) It's a lot to think about!! I hope this is helpful, and not overwhelming...
