Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIL Critical Periods: Periods of time where an organism's brain is extremely malleable and sensitive to stimuli. If the organism doesn't receive the appropriate stimulus during this critical period to learn a given skill- it maybe difficult or even impossible to develop certain associated functions by electroctopus

Yes there is but it's not as well studied. You can see a difference in social skills between adults who were homeschooled during elementary school, and adults who went to public/private elementary schools.

But social skills can also be partially genetic, certain traits of the Big 5, including Extroversion, can be geneticly passed down from parents.

Or you might have mild autism which is also common.
