254:Between The Lines

The idea about reading the room will be covered in this episode. Searching for or figuring out a meaning what is implied or concealed rather than one that is stated clearly is the social skill known as "reading the room." I also discuss how those on the autism spectrum find it more difficult to look around the room when we use figurative language and take things literally. I also speak about why it is challenging to do an examination in a public space with millions of people. I also go into why I think this is the most difficult social skill for someone on the autism spectrum to pick up. I do teach people on the spectrum ways to assist themselves, so it's not all a negative episode. https://www.thefemaledatingstrategy.com/forum/dating-relationships/not-being-able-to-read-the-room-isn-t-a-cute-quirk-and-some-notes-on-autism-as-an-excuse-from-me-a-person-on-the-spectrum
