Social Training

I have a question. Is it actually useful for autistic people to do social skills training? Is it possible to learn social skills well as an autistic person?

  • I found "Improve Your Social Skills" by Daniel Wendler quite useful. The author is autistic himself which gives the book a unique perspective. The book is only covering very basic skills and probably wouldn't be super useful for a NT person. However, it goes into enough details for the basic skills that if you are on the spectrum you can derive useful rules from it.
