Not sure about that. What if she feels overwhelmed at work?

An index card? Seems a bit too simplistic for this situation.

I recall a similar question where modeling behavior was emphasized, so I think option D might be the best choice to help her interact with her coworkers directly.

Enrolling her in a social club sounds beneficial long-term, but I feel like we need to tackle the immediate issue first, so I'm leaning towards option D.

I think practicing conversations in a controlled setting, like option C, could help her feel more comfortable, but it might not address the real work environment right away.

I remember we discussed using visual aids like index cards in class, so option A seems like a good start, but I'm not sure if it's the most effective first step.

I'm a little confused by this question. There are a few different approaches suggested, and I'm not sure which one would be the most effective. I guess I'll just have to make an educated guess and hope for the best.

Okay, I've got this. The key here is to provide support and practice in the actual work environment, so I'm going to go with option D. Modeling the behavior and working with her on-site is the best way to help her feel comfortable and integrate into the team.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm not sure if I should go with the index card reminder (A) or the in-office practice (C). I'll have to think this through carefully before deciding.

This seems like a straightforward question about how to help an employee with autism who is having trouble greeting co-workers. I think I'll go with option D - practicing with her at work and modeling the behavior I want to see.
