Hi there.
I'm a musical instrument teacher who just got a new student (5 years old) with autism. He's only been to lessons twice so far, so I didn't really get to know him, yet. I'm definitely going to have to go through a lot of trial and error to find out what approach works for him. Does anybody here have experience with learning instruments and what was important/successful for them? I'm mostly interested in what methods helped you to be able to focus on a particular task.

Hi there.

I met with some of my wife's acquaintances who I don't consider myself close to. I think we've had a total of 5 conversations lasting more than 30 seconds.

My wife and I met up with her and her husband at some event where we just passed by. Before she left she came by to say goodbye and came in for a hug. I never even shook this person's hand before and we are on some hugging basis now?

Is hugging a diluted salutation now, or am I just weird for thinking it's weird? If this were high school and we were both single I would think differently of this whole situation.

Usually, shaking hands is for business life and hugging is for private life - but it depends 100% on the cultural upbringing of the people, so don’t worry if it’s confusing. It can be confusing to anyone.

Look at kissing on the cheek etiquette in various Mediterranean countries - that’s a highly complicated science with many regional variations :v:
