The core skills do not need to be taught. Their learning is not a voluntary process, and their teaching cannot in any normal environment, be with-held.

I'm sure we are not advocating the raising of children in 'maximum isolation' for a crime they did'nt commit... :?

I don't think NTs raise their children by teaching them social skills. Some kids just get it. We don't.

Of course, everyone always assumes my kid is different because we didn't even teach him any...
