Social cues

Autismman

Can anyone explain what a social cue is or how it may come across from one person to another? What is it exactly that’s defined as a social clue? Are these subconscious movements/gestures that people show and projects towards each other? What was be a good example of this And what is the purpose rather than language

  • “Social cues are verbal or non-verbal signals expressed through the face, body, voice, motion (and more) and guide conversations as well as other social interactions by influencing our impressions of and responses to others. These percepts are important communicative tools as they convey important social and contextual information and therefore facilitate social understanding.

    A few examples of social cues include:

    • eye gaze
    • facial expression
    • vocal tone
    • body language”
