This presentation delves into the complexities of social skills, self-awareness, and emotional understanding in adolescents with autism. The discussion highlights key findings, such as the variability in insight about friendships, challenges in understanding bullying, and difficulties in accurately assessing academic abilities. The role of social skills training, peer mentorship, and emotional processing—particularly in relation to alexithymia and attention deficits—is explored, along with concerns about depression and quality of life post-high school. The talk underscores the need for better-targeted interventions and the importance of continued research to bridge gaps in understanding and support.
