The Other Sister, Post 1- Skills demonstrated

In the movie "The Other Sister", the character Carla showed some deficits in social skills. For example; causing the dogs to bark at a social event, talking about "doing it" out loud in a public park, becoming hysterical during an event when she becomes embarrassed and thinks people are laughing at her,  running away when she is unhappy at home, and pulling her boyfriend Danny up on stage with her during her sisters wedding ceremony. She also showed some deficits in practical intelligence, such as cooking, understanding the public transportation system, not knowing whether to call 911 or not because she hears a car alarm going off, and not realizing that she could have asked the sales clerk to remove the makeup she had just applied to one side of her face, instead of going all the way home like that.
