Social Skills for Kids with Autism: Practical Guide to Building Friendship, Communication, Confidenc

Why does something as simple as saying "hello" or joining in play feel so confusing and overwhelming for some children?

For many kids, interacting with others, making friends, or handling everyday social situations can bring stress, frustration, and a deep sense of feeling different. They may struggle to understand body language, miss social cues, or find it hard to express what they're thinking or feeling. This often leads to isolation, anxiety, or being misunderstood, even by well-meaning peers and adults.

This caring and practical guide gently supports children through step-by-step tools that make social interaction easier to understand and practice. Through relatable examples, engaging exercises, and encouraging messages rooted in faith and kindness, it helps children build the confidence and skills they need to connect with others, communicate clearly, and feel good about who they are.

Readers will discover:

• Simple conversation starters and ways to keep a conversation going
• Fun and easy tips for making and keeping friends in school and beyond
• Clear explanations of body language, tone of voice, and personal space
• Healthy ways to handle teasing, conflict, or being left out
• Interactive activities that support real-life social practice

If you're ready to support a child in feeling seen, valued, and socially confident, this book offers the tools and reassurance to get started today.
