What Social Communication Includes
Social communication is more than eye contact or turn taking. It draws on:
- social interaction: initiating, responding, reciprocity, and relationship-building;
- social cognition: interpreting perspectives, emotions, intentions, and context;
- pragmatics: using and adapting verbal and nonverbal communication for purpose and partner; and
- language processing: understanding implied meaning, ambiguity, narratives, figurative language, and discourse.
Acceptable social behavior varies across cultures, communities, neurotypes, relationships, and settings. The clinical question is whether communication effectively supports the individual's goals and participation, not whether the person conforms to one style.
