Asperger's and social ineptness

I have a friend whose adult son has aspergers. He is a good guy, but lacks the ability to socialize comfortably. Way back in the mists of time young ladies would sometimes attend "finishing school" to fine tune their social skills. I have often wondered if such a "finishing school" which focuses on folks with Aspergers might serve a similar purpose for them. It is a shame to let these people drift through life alone if social skills can be taught. Any thoughts on this from anyone?

You go Kaysie!! Keep up the

You go Kaysie!! Keep up the good work:)
