“…Social skills, however, have received more attention by TS researchers. There is research demonstrating that many aspects of social functioning may be different in some people with TS (D. S. Hong et al, 2011;Wolstencroft & Skuse, 2018), including difficulties forming and maintaining social relationships (McCauley, Sybert, & Ehrhardt, 1986), having fewer close friends (Lagrou et al, 2006), and being seen as less socially competent than their peers (McCauley, Feuillan, Kushner, & Ross, 2001). Specific components of social processing that have been studied showed people with TS to have higher risk for impairments in areas of: facial recognition (Romans, Stefanatos, Roeltgen, Kushner, & Ross, 1998; J. L. Ross, Kushner, & Zinn, 1997), facial matching and fear recognition (D. S. Hong, Bray, Haas, Hoeft, & Reiss, 2014;Lawrence, Kuntsi, Coleman, Campbell, & Skuse, 2003;Mazzola et al, 2006), gaze processing (Elgar, Campbell, & Skuse, 2002; and interpretation of subtle social cues (McCauley, Kay, Ito, & Treder, 1987).…”
