Social Rules

dccwal_90

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.

  • A few weeks ago I was at a village fete with my wife, a friend of hers came up to my wife and did the embracing  thing and the kiss on each cheek. The woman then turned to me, grabbed hold of me and did the same thing. She must of physically felt me cringing, it upset me for ages. Why does anyone do this? Hello would have been enough.
