Social skills are skills -- a learned body of knowledge. You can fail to develop a body of knowledge for all sorts of reasons, not limited to a specific spectrum of neurological dysfunctions.
True, though I'd hesitate to characterize social skills as "a learned body of knowledge" precisely.
Perhaps I should have been speaking of "social inelegance", rather than autism? Have I conflated unjustly?
Yes!
