The Friendship Code

 "Marcus is academically brilliant," Mr. Park tells the parents. "But he's struggling socially. He doesn't seem to pick up on social cues."

You've seen this student. The one who dominates conversations without noticing others pulling away. Who takes "it's raining cats and dogs" literally. Who wants to make friends but doesn't know how.

The one who needs more than good intentions—who needs explicit instruction in the invisible curriculum.

This is a clinically accurate narrative that:

✓ Shows what social communication disorder actually looks like in real classroom and social situations

✓ Explains the neuroscience behind why some children process social information differently

✓ Provides concrete, evidence-based strategies embedded in a story you'll actually want to read

✓ Validates the struggles of both children and the adults who support them

✓ Offers hope through Marcus's authentic journey toward understanding himself and finding his people
