Yes - it's more forcing someone to learn social skills, than actually teaching social skills. Practicing a whole lot works as a way to learn, but hopefully there is a more efficient, less unpleasant way.

I also know a girl in high school who had asperger's syndrome and was an extreme extrovert (she felt bored if she didn't have an outing or a visit from a friend almost every day if it wasn't a school day), and she still seemed to have significant trouble with social skills. So I guess that might mean that either practice doesn't work for everyone, or doesn't work as well as I had thought.
