Social Skills Training?

In my reading around and searching, I invariably come across paragraphs or even whole chapters that refer to the development of social skills and even training programmes to help with this process.  It's mentioned a LOT.  And yet, if I search for any such programme or coaching locally, I can't find any!

Am i looking in the wrong places?  Does such a thing actually exist or is it for each of us to piece together?  Would a formal coaching or training programme be of much help anyway?  What's the evidence base?

My 26 year old son often refers to his difficulties with social skills and would really like some help.  Where might I direct him?

  • Thanks Nicky.  I'll have a look through and share with my son too.  

    It's one of those issues that has not only run through my own life but also seems to be a familial problem.  Prior Tony younger son's informal diagnosis with Asperger's I had been thinking it was simply a family trait.
