===Autistic spectrum disorders ===
Individuals with [[autistic spectrum disorders]] including [[autism]] and [[Asperger syndrome]] are often characterized by their deficiency in social functioning. The concept of social skills has been questioned in terms of the autistic spectrum.<ref>Raymond G. Romanczyk, Sara White, and Jennifer M. Gillis (2005): Social Skills Versus Skilled Social Behavior: A Problematic Distinction in Autism Spectrum Disorders. ''Journal of Early and Intensive Behavior Intervention 2 (3),'' pp. 177–94 [http://www.baojournal.com]</ref> In response to the needs of autistic children, Romanczyk has suggested adapting a comprehensive model of social acquisitions with behavioral modification rather than specific responses tailored for social contexts.<ref>{{cite journal|author=Romanczyk, R.
