Description

People with high-functioning autism often struggle with social situations. Though they are able to quickly learn subjects that interest them, reading people is a separate challenge made worse by the fact that many people do not treat social skill as actual skills, but instead as something you either get or you don't. It doesn't have to be this way. In this 12-part video course, professional mentalist and speaker Alexander Vornoff, who is on the spectrum himself, will teach students the basics in approaching people, having conversations, and reading non-verbal communication in order to set them on the road to becoming a socially stand-up person. Along with the video lectures are several challenges to get you out into the world and practicing what you've just learned. All you need is the will to make it happen!

Who this course is for:

  • This course is a guide to the basics of navigating social situations for people with high-functioning autism aged 15 and older.
  • If you are on the autistic spectrum and have trouble in social situations or don't know what to do or say when meeting new people, this course will help you take your first steps to becoming more sociable.
