[quote=Anonymous]Maybe some place like Social Grace in Arlington. They do outings and real life encounters. It’s not cheap but could be worth it. We have worked repeatedly with our socially anxious kid “eyes and hi”—when you great someone you give them your eyes and say hi. I don’t care about sustained eye contact but I do care he was taught that skill. He does it ~80-90% of the time now without asking. He’s fifteen and we started in earnest around age 8. I don’t care that he’s “normal” but it was affecting his ability to build and have deeper friendships (aka saw someone from school and wouldn’t look at them or say hi). ASD kids might be different though, but I do think parents play a role and I do think they can ask too much. It’s about finding a balance I suppose [/quote]
