Social Rules

When I filled in a referral form for the local Integrated Autism Service (IAS) I was asked 'Do you have an example of an unspoken social rule that you have struggled with?'

I struggled to answer this question as I did not understand what was meant by an unspoken social rule.

Therefore if anyone can give me examples of an 'unspoken social rule' then it might help me understand what they are referring to ahead of my assessment.

  • Oh and generally speaking....insight from one of my friends lately... apparently people need their "feathers smoothing" before you get down to business or ask them something directly...

    Head scratcher for me, but I think that means you are supposed to say, complement them on a item of clothing or something, before asking where their data submission is.

    God knows why, I don't give a stuff what anybody thinks of my clothes.  I'm wearing them, not them, but apparently NTs need this stuff to function.
