A willingness and capacity to comply with a standard of performance is the major social difference observed within ACL 4.2. The opposite is the complication.
Time
The person is aware of the passage of days and asks what day it is and what today's date is. They keep regular sleeping hours and anticipate meal times by watching external events.
Eating and completion of other activities is so slow that other people must adjust to two to three times the normal rate and others need to wait that long as well.
Space
Most people learn where their daily personal belongings are stored, the location of activity group supplies, and any other routine supplies in order to get them when needed. Very few people learn to put them away when they are done. Leftovers and tools are usually left behind for someone else to clean up.
They know where they live and usually know what place they are in now. They can usually learn their way around a building or the immediate neighbourhood if the grid is composed of horizontal and vertical lines.
The space around them, including their working space, is usually within arm's reach and in plain sight. Items in drawers or if covered up, are seldom looked for.
Sense of Self
The person's sense of self is connected to the activity that they are doing now, but is only connected to other people as a sense of someone who could help them do the next step.
Their sense of their possessions includes the social rituals for exchange of possessions.
Other People
These people can be standing or blocking the flow of foot traffic and be totally unaware of being an obstacle. "Excuse me" is too polite and a pointed direction is usually needed to get them to step aside.
Social Rank
The social ranks of doctors, nurses and teachers are recognised with respect and requests for assistance. While doing activities, the most common question is "What's next?"
Episodic memories of past experiences with the stigma of mental illness and racial bigotry are apt to influence current group membership.
Material Objects
The person has a sense of what is right when they can match to a sample. Matching using one striking feature at a time captures the person's attention until they are tired.
Material objects are distinguished using one striking feature usually based on the person's procedural memory.
Their possessions, the projects they make and the samples all have a continued place in their minds.
Objects they are working with, such as a piece of paper, are perceived as having a flat surface with a front and a back. They may spontaneously turn the paper of similar objects over, or do so when cued.
Some depth may be given to stacking objects or layering a shape (heart) of a smaller size on top of a larger one.
While working on projects such as the notecard or the placemat, the overall design may fade in and out of memory and cuing may be needed to redirect their attention. When one step is complete, they frequently stop and ask "What's next?" without looking at the sample. They will look when cued but many people will still require a demonstrated direction. The common behaviour within ACL 4.2 is to comply with all directions.
Samples & Errors
The sample is consulted in the beginning and used to identify an error in their project. Only one error in a striking feature is noticed and corrected. The correction is made by matching the feature on their project with the feature on the sample. The sample must be in their visual field at the time that the matching is done.
When they do not match the sample and have noticed an error, they may become immobilised as observed by their sitting still. A demonstration of how to fix the error is usually imitated.
