Social competence is the whole of social skills that vary according to the environment and age. Social competence includes skills that are directly related to the interaction and adaptation of individuals with their environment, including self-confidence, communication, and appropriateness of speaking time. Limitations in these skills lead to difficulties in developing friendships, not achieving the same level of success as their peers in academic fields and living dependent on the people around them in later ages.
