Love & Dating On the Autism Spectrum – Nina Jonson

The Love and Dating scene often doesn’t just happen naturally, especially when a young person has trouble picking up social cues like those on the Autism Spectrum explained Nina Jonson, Director of Enrollment and Outreach for Minnesota Life College (MLC) to Host Lon Feb. 23, 2016.  The solution to that problem adopted by MLC is to pick out specific steps like flirting, small talk and awareness of the body language of others and practice them until the young person gets the habit of watching others and know scripts that fit social conventions in various situations.  Listen to this introduction of the basics of what everybody needs to do to build relationships of all kinds.
