http://www.autismawarenesscentre.org/book-review/the-hidden-curriculum-practical-solutions-for-understanding-unstated-rules-in-social-situations.html http://www.autismawarenesscentre.org/book-review/the-hidden-... is apparently a book on exactly this. http://www.parenting.org/behavior/socialskills/ http://www.parenting.org/behavior/socialskills/ is going to be the level they're talking about, though. I don't know if I'd be diagnosed autistic -- Taking the test retrospectively, I would have scored 39/50 on http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/9.12/aqtest.html http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/9.12/aqtest.html as a kid and teenager, but score 25 now. I also do not have the classic difficulty deciphering faces, but do not know if that was always true or if I've learned. My trick? I ended up in an intense, somewhat abusive religious group that had a focus on evangelism. It was an environment where people were forced to interact positively, and I ended up learning hordes. While I had to completely relearn social interaction after leaving the group, I at least had a set of heuristics to follow. I've struggled to figure out a way to bring this without the religious system, and haven't quite figured it out yet.
