Social Deficits

Social deficits refer to difficulties in interacting, communicating, or forming relationships with others. They can include challenges recognizing social cues, understanding others’ feelings, or responding appropriately in social situations. These issues may be seen in conditions like autism spectrum disorder, social anxiety, or other developmental and mental health conditions. Social deficits can affect everyday life, making it harder to build friendships, maintain relationships, or succeed in social environments. Addressing these deficits often involves therapy, social skills training, or support to improve interaction skills and foster better understanding and connection with others.
