I still remember the feeling of confusion and depression growing up and watching people form relationships, going to parties and doing small talk while I wasn't able to figure out these things that are usually taken for granted. I think my life would have been much better if somebody had recognized this and helped me to function in social life. There are social skills that can be learned with enough practice. It won't be as intuitive as for most "normal" people but it's often possible to function well enough.
