It is important to recognize that many children and adults with social difficulties have trouble sharing space with others. They may feel nervous about being close to other people due to sensory issues or may have trouble accepting others within their own personal space. Helping these individuals understand that it is okay to feel this way and that there are strategies and choices to help make them feel more comfortable is very helpful since sharing space is a skill that they will need to use throughout their lives on a daily basis. |
