Hi - I am wondering if anyone has a good resource for social stories? Something that shows how people are supposed to react to different small talk type of conversations that adults have?
Thanks.

You can learn through observing human interactions through your family, friends, co-workers and/or people at school. You can also learn about human interaction through television programs and movies. If you choose to learn it through the media choose something with a bit of depth and morale. Some good examples are family shows:
-Degrassi
-Degrassi TNG
-Full House
-7'th Heaven
-Ready or Not
-Little House on the Prairie
-Road to Avonlea

These shows may not be for everybody but honestly this is how I learned a lot of social skills, that and observing my peers and family.

You might be able to find some of these shows online. They're a bit old but a lot of their episodes focus on an important topic pertaining to something that focuses on everyday issues.
