Kassardjian et al. continues to say, that the capability to explain social skills in a group setting lets educators utilize other classmates in communicating and explaining itself, for example role-play. Interacting with others helped the children with Autism develop a higher understanding questions within conversations (2014). Kassardjian is implying that if one directly puts a child with Autism into a real-life situation, there is a better chance and/or outcome for them to fully comprehend the authenticity and validity that comes with dynamic social situations. According to Shannon Crozier and Matthew J. Tincani, social stories are considered to be limited in some areas, Confinements lie within the delivery of the social story, the brief length of time, and the clinical environment. These limitations make it challenging to convey these judgements to a natural environment (2005).

The character of Holden Caulfield in J.D. Salinger 's novel, Catcher in the Rye, is an excellent example of a psychologically sensitive portrayal of a child with autism spectrum disorder. Although, Holden is never diagnosed in the novel, his interactions with peers and his particular interests show that he is a young man struggling with this psychological disorder. I find this most interesting because the novel allows the reader to enter the mind of Holden to connect and sympathize with the young man and gain a new perspective to his unique disorder.

Other people appear to know, intuitively, how to communicate and interact with each other, and some people with autism may wonder why they are different.
