    Loads of things it's compliance

    Autism causes people social disadvantages and issues with friendships and so on

    So maybe some social thinking lessons?

    Reading up on social thinking. Encouraging your friends to understand why you are the way you are.....

    Practice....

    It does get easier, you just have to be willing to put the work in.

    My 10 year old nephew has autism. He sees--among other specialists--a social worker to help him to better make friends and form relationships with kids his own age.

    Not sure if there are similar programs for adults with autism. If not, there really should be.

    i assume you're diagnosed? you could look into options that would be covered under your insurance.
