I think so. If I had had somebody in my youth who taught me how to interact with people I am pretty sure I would have done much better. The worst for me was to notice that I don’t fit in and had nobody to help. It was extremely lonely and depressing. But I am also a pretty mild case and performed well in school and work. I am not sure how it would have worked with severe autism cases, for example non verbal people. That’s a different ballgame.

A common issue is that autistic children tend to have autistic parents and many autistic parents are sadly bad att helping their kids understanding social interactions.
