[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 532839, member: 8831"] midwest mom....i actually do agree that there is nothing wrong with being a loner. in our case though, it sort of fosters a developmental stall....with no real peer group to model after, it becomes hard to foster appropriate growth. she will eventually have to function in the world...its fine to be a loner, but she also need to know how to get along in life. i see it with her even when we do things in her nerdy world--she has a hard time even among them. there is an awkwardness there that holds her back, and the older she gets, the harder it is to teach those skills...and the more isolated she becomes. its been a viscious cycle we cant seem to break. i'm pretty out of ideas and answers on the subject to tell the truth....but i do know the more i let her be, the bigger the issue seems to become.
