[QUOTE="Fran, post: 352062, member: 3"] My difficult child is enrolled in a social skills group that meats once a month. Since difficult child has met some of these folks, he noticed that they don't seem to want to initate other social outings. 2 hrs once a month is not enough. So difficult child is inviting some of the group over for movie night. He sent out flyers, planned a menu(chips, salsa,popcorn, and pizza) figured out the movie. If this works, then he will do it again. One of the other young men has game night once a month at his place. In the meantime, we try to encourage difficult child to make a plan by calling by Wed. for something he wants to do on Friday or Sat. The whole lack of initiative frustrates me but it just doesn't seem to come natural to difficult child. Anyhow, I figure if we want difficult child to socialize then we have to provide an environment where he can invite young adults to do things. I am totally uninvolved. I stick around in another room just in case of a meltdown. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
