It’s quite complicated and many children on the Autism Spectrum struggle to navigate their social worlds. It might be challenging for your child to make friends, but it’s also likely they are struggling to participate in groups at school and adhere to the social expectations in their different environments because it is overwhelming or confusing. Andi Solochek and Nandini Datta will provide practical strategies you can use at home and in your everyday environments to help you and your child feel more successful in the complex social world. 5/28/2019
