Maybe a social interaction manual would be an idea.

I honestly try my best to be helpful in most cases but if were something related to a specific program I would suggest reading the manual because otherwise I'll be the one doing it for them. If necessary I'll show them where to find the manual and how I normally look through it.

Honestly, yeah. I get that social interaction is awkward for some people. I myself have Asperger’s (shut the fuck up, Cartman, I see your pudgy ass back there fidna pipe up), and I’ve never found people easy to understand. I think there really needs to be an initiative to teach people, normal people, how to use this stuff, and it doesn’t start by being an asshole. It starts by giving a shit and answering questions if you know the answers, or by helping people understand what might be going wrong. Even a word or two is helpful for beginning a Google search, but you have to know what you’re looking for in order to start looking for it.
