I've struggled with classroom management too, and am NT... it's such a difficult thing regardless I think. For me, I'm a soft-spoken individual and that probably contributed.

| One thing I notice in common across most of the responses here is that the assumption seems to be that "communication skills" refers to social skills. Since I'm not the most extroverted person around, if I get asked a question about my communication skills, I start talking about my written communica... |

Best of luck to you. |
