Lack of social skills

NAS68574

Hi, I was diagnosed with autism when I was 13. And ever since I was born I’ve been shy and nervous. I don’t know how to make eye contact very well. I laugh when I don’t know how to react. I find it hard to continue conversations. How do I keep a conversation going. What should I do when I don’t know what to say?

  • It's about finding people you are more comfortable around. I used to try and maintain a lot of friendships and would be exhausted. 

    Try writing down possible answers and questions ahead of time. Most people like to talk about themselves, so ask open questions and they'll do most of the work for you.

    Best of luck!
