I started to understand social cues, but I lack social-emotional reciprocity to a mild degree.
Are there any tips to improve my social-emotional reciprocity?
Is social-emotional reciprocity a social skill as well?

Tried, the highest I have is empathic actions, lowest - emotional empathy (the ability to feel someone’s feelings like my own) generally got result as 10% less empathetic than general population. Interesting. I also remember taking some other test some time ago, but there I had only one general score - 14 out if I’m not sure, 36 or something. I was amazed it was so low.
Thank you I will try
Multidimensional Empathy Test
developed by Daniel Goleman.
Can you write, which test you took? I’m curious about my results
Cognitive empathy (the ability to understand another person's perspective and feelings) seems to be a problem for autistics. I took an empathy test and scored higher than the neurotypical average for all aspects of empathy, except for cognitive empathy, where I was well below. Improving your ability to recognise emotions in others might be a challenge, but changing your responses should be easier, just copy what other people do, hug, pat hands and make 'there, there' type noises.
This is my story, as an observer i also can recognize some emotions, but to respond to them - is still a black magic to me.
