Poor Social
Skills.
Trouble making or keeping friends, reading social cues, or knowing what to say and when.
What it can look like
- Making friends
- Reading cues
- Conversation
- Play
- Group work
- Being left out
Poor social skills look like a child who plays alongside rather than with others, who talks over people or only about their own interests, who misses jokes and sarcasm, or who wants friends and cannot work out how. In teens and adults it may be awkwardness in groups, trouble with small talk, and friendships that fade. Social difficulty can come from autism, ADHD, language differences, social anxiety or simply inexperience, and each calls for different support. An evaluation tells them apart.
