Challenges in Social Interactions with ADHD and Autism

This chapter discusses the challenges that individuals with ADHD and autism face in social interactions. It highlights how autistic individuals may struggle to pick up on social cues and may focus on irrelevant details, causing them to miss the bigger picture of social situations. The chapter also emphasizes the difficulty of generalizing coping mechanisms and rules from one situation to another for autistic individuals, leading to exhaustion and avoidance of new situations.
