・Author: Carol Gray ・Translator/Commentator: Tomoko Fukumaki Social Stories for Adults with Asperger's Syndrome As a skill for maintaining good relationships, people often engage in the act of praising. This is because people, regardless of whether they are neurotypical or neurodivergent (autistic), have a desire to be praised. However, in reality, "praising" and its timing are rarely taught in typical parenting or education. Therefore, even for the general population, properly timing the act of praising can be difficult. Especially for people on the autism spectrum, they grow up without naturally learning these nuances and subtleties of human relationships. Even if they develop some social skills, maintaining good interpersonal relationships can be challenging. This social article clarifies the unspoken rules of how to praise and is written for adults with ASD, but it actually teaches tips for interacting with others that are useful for children with ASD and also for neurotypical individuals. In addition, it includes "12 Tips for Dating for Men with ASD" by Jerry Newport, an adult with ASD who became famous for the film adaptation of his book "Mozart and the Whale."
