There has been some success in working with scripting, in those with AS. To comment on the above response that the person does not think it will do any good, let me be sure we are all talking about apples and apples, not apples vs. oranges:
If a person with AS has social traits that are not serving them well fuctioning in the world (society), they may not expect to improve or change the fact that they have AS. However, if they learn scipts, like when to withhold an opinion, it could save their career...if they want a career! And if they learn that it is not awfully smart to tell their slim wife on their honeymoon that they think she's as fat as a sow, and it helps them create a better marriage, regardless of their motive to marry in the first place...then one can only belive that scripting could help.
And if they learn about the social cues of when to shut up from going on an on and on about their special interest topic because the rest of the folk don't want TMI (too much information), then it's a help to know that...if they in fact have to function in society, which most of us HAVE TO DO to some extent. It can only serve an AS well to learn how to take off the rough edges.
