32 year old man with Autism here.

Social skills are just that, skills. That is, you can learn them just as you do any other skill: break it down into parts and put it to practice. Autistics are absolutely able to learn social skills but we start from a position of disadvantage. We're more likely to experience social rejection/isolation early on and fall into a negative cycle. Because we were rejected, we don't get to practice being social. Because we didn't practice as much, we don't get as good at it. Because we didn't get good at it, we're hesitant to approach people later in life and even when we do, we're more likely to be rejected. That's my theory, anyway.

From your post I can't really tell where you are in your development of social skills but, for instance, you might practice making eye contact with people (and returning any greeting/gesture you receive from those people). It's a small thing but it can help a lot. Once you feel comfortable, you can move on to something like making small talk with acquaintances (or strangers, depending on your confidence).

Some of the books listed in the sidebar here take this approach of building up competency a bit at a time. I particularly like the approach of Level Up Your Social Life: The Gamer's Guide To Social Success but I might be biased because I'm a gamer. =)

The most important thing is that you truly believe that you can do this. We come by our social skills in a different way than most people but we can acquire them if we take opportunities to study and learn and practice.

Sorry for not answering any of the specific questions in your post but I thought that by laying all of this out in a comment I might help spark your own journey to acquire social skills.

EDIT: Really it's more like we should be taking opportunities rather than waiting around for them to be given to us.

IamA social skills expert who overcame the social struggles of Asperger's! Both of my books are free on Kindle today, and my newest TEDx talk was just published, so AMA!

Hi everyone! My name is Daniel Wendler, and I'm the author of ImproveYourSocialSkills.com, a comprehensive online guide to social skills. My TEDx talk, "What Being Autistic Taught Me About Being Human" was just released on Youtube, so I thought I would do an AMA to celebrate!

A few things you might be interested to know about me:

  • I've written two books on social skills: Improve Your Social Skills and Level Up Your Social Life. They're both free on Kindle today, so enjoy! (You don't need Kindle unlimited.)
  • This is my third time on IAMA. My first AMA and my second AMA got a great response, so I decided to come back and hang out with your wonderful people again!
  • I wrote my social skills guides out of my own experiences of overcoming social challenges. Growing up, I was the most awkward kid you could ever hope to meet. My social skills were limited to 1) Talking about Star Wars 2) Talking about video games 3) Talking about Star Wars video games. As a result, I was bullied, rejected -- all the stuff you'd expect. But things turned around in high school when I received a diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome. I learned that my social struggles were because of my lack of social skills, so I started working really hard to build my social skills. Over time, I got a lot better at social skills, and I started writing my social skills guides to share what I've learned with other people.
  • I have an older TEDx talk too called "My life with Asperger's" in case you want to see young Dan!
  • I'm the moderator of /r/socialskills, which is an awesome community that you should join.
  • Proof

    Thanks for reading! I'll be available for the next few hours, so feel free to ask me anything about social skills, Asperger's, giving a TEDx talk, or anything else!
