That's part of what we've been working on. His visual learning and literalness is great, but his inferential skills need to develop more. Believe it or not, "The Mission, The Men and Me" by Pete Blaber has given me another tool to try to develop inference with him. Mr. Blaber talks about collecting dots and putting them together to see what pattern they form. This develops inference I believe. I've been teaching my son about collecting and recognizing dots and looking at the patterns they form, and then applying that to social type situations ("if you see a person who looks sad, holds their stomach, and says they're not hungry, it means they might not be feeling well"...an oversimplification, but you get the idea).
One finds methods to use in the darndest places sometimes.
