Autistic individuals often have undeniable specific strengths but difficulty with many of the skills necessary to navigate our world. This is because many of these skills are not nearly as simple as they look and are more accurately viewed as skill sets. In this presentation, Jeremy K. Farrell will focus on tips to improve social, life, relationship, and work skills, as well as common building blocks for any skill set. He will explain why these skill sets are important, how they work, and how to develop them effectively.
