Autism: Intermediate Social Thinking
Summary
Social thinking is a huge component of socializing and emotionally connecting with other people. To relate to others, we must interpret what they are thinking, feeling, and trying to communicate. Social skills are perhaps one of the most important and complex parts to social interaction. Social skill is the social thinking part that enables us to interpret and understand the hidden meaning behind what others are trying to communicate with us. This book will show you how Travis has taught himself how to read and analyze the social context behind social communication with social thinking. This has allowed him to learn a bit more about the hidden meaning behind some forms of communication and understand what others are trying to communicate with him. This is an intermediate guide to social thinking and learning how to understand and process the social context around us in the world. Travis takes the listener inside his brain to explain how he processes social and emotional information to form a better hypothesis of what others are trying to communicate with him.
