Wherever your child is on the autism spectrum, chances are that they will need help deciphering the rules of social relationships lifelong.
Today, Michelle tells a story that shows how the concept of "Social Thinking" works, and why the concept is changing the way parents and professionals think about treatment for autism spectrum disorders.
