[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 62919, member: 1991"] MWM, we've found the afternoon drama group (for kids in our area with learning problems, but most of them are autistic/Asperger's) has been good not only for difficult child 3 but for a lot of the older kids. They used the drama group as a springboard to a teens social skills group. difficult child 3 slid in on the back of that and from there, they formed a social outings group and the kids would go bowling, or on picnics. It made a big difference to a number of the kids. difficult child 3 is the youngest in that group and they've reshuffled the drama classes so he's not with them at the moment (grr!) but we meet them at the changeover, and we see these kids hugging each other and being really happy to see each other. When they were recruiting for the film my kids were in (they wanted autistic teens/young adults and their siblings) most of the recruiting came from this drama group/social skills group, so we spent a lot of time with them over December/January, rehearsing through our summer holidays. It could be something to look for. Alternatively, you could do what we did in organising the social group - we just exchanged contact details and would take turns organising an outing - getting numbers, booking lanes at the bowling alley, that sort of thing. basically, if you can't find one, organise one? A thought. Marg [/QUOTE]
