[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 468119, member: 1550"] I absolutely do not think anyone should push her toward any group. JMO, but a lot of loners, do not enjoy them at all. I like one-one time with people I care about and can relate to rather than the mindless small tall and gossip that goes on in groups. I think one close friend is enough, actually, and she has to find the right one or two or three or group SHE feels connected to or she will just spend her entire time with them wishing that she was at home. I used to watch cliques at school and wonder why they wanted to be friends, since they fought and backbit and were not nice to one another a lot of the time. Trust me...if you she is drawn to this, it is best to allow her to avoid it. Even as an adult, groups can be very catty and just not fun, at least for people like me. by the way, I'm another one who has many Aspie traits, but no diagnosis of Aspergers. I have similar social issues to Aspies, but not the obsessions, lack of imagination, problem with abstract reasoning etc. One can be very similar to an Aspie, but not fit in even with other Aspies...lol. So I kind of get where confuzzled is coming from with her daughter. I love all of you, but if I ever meet you in a group setting it will be very hard for me. It won't be hard to talk to anyone one-one, but the group part...intimidating and awkward, even though I like ya. [/QUOTE]
