I hope it works well for you. Is your son verbal? Video modeling does work for many children on the autism spectrum. I hope it works well for you. Is your son verbal?

I was thinking that perhaps by him seeing other kids communicating with each other, he can pick up on it. Yes, he’s high on the spectrum.

One of the problems with this is that (at least in my case) intuitive learning does not happen; especially in cases of an emotional context. Understanding what people are saying is not a problem; understanding what they are MEANING is the difficulty. At some point the frustration with trying to understand the subtext leads to shutdown and a need to leave the situation. Doesn’t always work.

People who've not experienced it first hand will never really understand the basic level at which instruction has to take place. You have to start simply and CONSISTENCY is paramount.

It is too complex, every new individual conversation includes new things that the child would not understand. There are all sorts of things going on in communication, especially body language, that a typical person won't even notice, but will drive someone with high functioning autism or aspergers crazy. Something like moving your hands around while talking, for instance. I don’t think you can ever teach a child with aspergers or autism to communicate with other people the way an NT would.
