[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 275160, member: 1550"] in my opinion the best thing to do (just a suggestion) is to make sure she has a social life right in town. There has to be a support group for young lesbians and I'd take her there. She'll meet other girls like her, and get out of the house. I don't feel that electronic socialization for socially awkward kids is a good idea or safe. Socially clueless kids are the easiest to trick. She NEEDS NEEDS NEEDS to get out of the house in your community and get to know even one other person she can spend time with. My son is on the autism spectrum and we even forced him to get out and make friends and he has. He doesn't see them much outside of school, but he knows they are there; that he can call them. I would be terrified if he was socially networking because he is so socially clueless and I'd be scared that some predator would figure this out and do their worst to him, fooling him into thinking "he's my friend." There are options beyond text messaging and IMing. [/QUOTE]
