It's not an easy skill, but it only need to be learned once.
- gcr 10y agoBringing up the Big Bang Theory as a realistic example of how to deal with a person with autism and calling your action a "rescue" is petty and hurtful. That show only shows harmful stereotypes of nerds for people to laugh at. What social skills could you possibly hope to magically convey through one two-minute laugh track? The author is fighting a lifelong battle here. Please at least respect their struggle.
- DenisM 10y agoThe video is a good example of active listening. You don't have to understand what the other person is saying in order to connect with them. It's a very useful skill, removes a lot of stress from interaction.
- gcr 10y agoOh, that's what you were getting at. I suppose so, but it feels like that scene was played up for laughs because of how fake Anne felt the conversation, which completely went over Sheldon's head.
