Social Skills is CanceledAuthor: Steph West, Starfish Social Club
Hi, Im Steph, and Im a neurodivergent social coach who helps autistic and ADHD kids make friends! This show is based on my childrens chapter book (Social Skills is Canceled: A Story for Kids with Autism, ADHD, and Anxiety) and the lessons I teach my students in our weekly social skills groups. Each week I share the concepts in one of our weekly lessons, including why and how I teach it, and I break down what each of the three shapes, or social types, needs to benefit most from that weeks lesson.

Social filter and social fake
Episode 106
Monday, 15 December, 2025
Once upon a time, there were autistic, ADHD, and anxious students who struggled with thinking about others during conversations. Sometimes they would say things that hurt other people's feelings or were perceived as rude or disrespectful, or even things that other people didn't really want to talk about or hear about. Sometimes these students would stop listening when people talked about things that they didn't care about. Sometimes they would even tell people they weren't interested in what the group or the person was talking about. I created the lesson I'm sharing today for all of these students. In this lesson, our students learn what a social filter is, how it's different than lying, and when and why using a social fake is a good idea. We also practice taking some of our common complaints that we might have and turning them into problem-solving opportunities.
