If autistic people can practice not being shy, why can't they "undo" other things...?

Question:

such as reading comprehension issues or some other social skills difficulties? Or is it just like everything else slow to learn...it just takes time to build up the way the other things have been built up?

Answers:
Autistic people are not "shy".They lack the ability to pick up on social cues like the rest of us. We all learned how to be social just by being around people and absorbing it. They can't, so they have to be taught, and practice, and try to follow the "social rules".
They never actually undo anything.
If they are taught something in a way that they can learn it, they do have a chance to learn it. There are a lot of special programs specifically geared toward autistic people and the special ways they learn.
Social stories is one of them that uses simple stories and pictures to illustrate what a person would do in a specific social situation. ("The rules".)

There are many levels of autism. Some individuals with autism are able to achieve high educational goals, yet they lack social skills. One-on-one therapeutic treatment with autistic children and adolescents is often very effective in making social and life style improvements.
