"THE HIDDEN CURRICULUM "
SEMINAR SERIES
Coming this Winter, 2014
In the communities of South Lyon, Brighton, Milford, and Novi 
What is The Hidden Curriculum?
The ASSUMED and EXPECTED details of life's social rules.

Autism Spectrum Disorder is a social communication and language disorder.  A person on the autism spectrum are naturally challenged with social cognition.  The most basic detail to a social situation usually needs to be "taught"  to a person on the spectrum. 

If you say phrases such as these then very likely a hidden curriculum situation has been violated:
  • I shouldn't have to tell you, but...
  • It should be obvious that...
  • Everyone knows that...
  • No one ever...
Violating one of these hidden curriculum situations will make a person appear odd and a social outcast i.e. "when and where to pick your nose", "when and how long to stare at a female", "on the job site recognizing when a customer needs your assistance", "when and how often to share in a classroom setting".
