Marcus stands at the classroom door, clutching his backpack, mentally reviewing the social rules his mom taught him that morning.
Make eye contact. Smile when you say hello. Watch for signs that people are bored. Don't talk too long about robots.
The rules feel overwhelming. Why can't people just say what they mean?
If you've watched your child struggle through moments like this-knowing they're bright, articulate, and kind, but somehow missing the unwritten social code-this book is for you.
