[quote=Anonymous]For what it's worth. . . I think many children with social thinking challenges first figure out the rules and expectations associated with communicating with adults more than peers. Adults are more predictable and teachers in particular may act more in accordance with patterns and expectations. Whereas peers are much more difficult to figure out, there often seems to be no rhyme of reason to their unstructured behavior. Our own child with social thinking challenges was a teacher's pet and had figured us the parents out long before meaningful bonding began with other children in about 2nd grade or so. Our child has had to work on understanding peers but the progress has come. I'm not saying "don't be concerned and think there's nothing to work on," but I also am not in the least surprised that your child's social skills were first in evidence with adults rather than peers.
