How to learn to play with others?

We have a 5 year old autistic girl who does not know how to interact with other children.  I can tell when she likes another child but will either hug or tug on that child.  That doesn't go over well.  Any ideas?  Thank you.

    Aspergers Syndrome is a slightly older term for Autism with low support needs (or level 1 I believe) so is appropriate from what you describe.
