In the theoretical part, the reader is introduced to the basic terminology and characteristics of ASD concepts. The so-called autistic triad is introduced, i.e. the manifestations and problem areas of ASD. In this part we also find an explanation of the term social skills, an introduction to the problems of developing these skills in children with ASD and the possibilities of their development.

The aim of the practical part is first of all to find out the problematic social skills of a selected child with ASD of preschool age on the basis of observation, data analysis, interviews with the child's parents and teachers in a special kindergarten. And last but not least, using the CARS2-ST screening method. Once identified, a didactic tool will be created to develop the selected problematic social skill.
