My cousin has ASD and ADHD. Social skills training has been hard.

Books are too abstract. Therapy concepts click in the room, then disappear in real life. And actual practice means actual shame.).

Shared an app called Questly with her - interactive stories where you're inside real situations (negotiation, setting limits, workplace conflict), make choices, and watch what happens. Replay the same scene with different approaches until the pattern clicks. No judgment, no stakes, just reps.

What got her: not someone telling her "say Y when they say X", actually saying it and watching the conversation shift. First time social skills felt like something she could practice instead of something she was supposed to just know.

It made me think, most social skills tools are designed for neurotypical learning styles. Read the theory, apply it, done. But for ND brains that need repetition, immediate feedback, and engagement to learn, interactive stories might actually be the missing format.

What else is out there? Apps, games, tools that actually help with social skills without feeling like a lecture or worksheet - for yourself or someone you love. Would love to build a list.
