[QUOTE="nvts, post: 256810, member: 3814"] Hi! Why don't you have him take a look at this site: [URL]http://www.wrongplanet.net/[/URL] It has really outstanding forums that are both resource type forums, but there are quite a few that are interest based as well. He could go into the ones that would give him a chance to talk to others that may have similar interests and he would get an opportunity to interact without shyness getting in the way. As far as how to handle him? I'd sit down with him and explain that you interpreted his body language and demeanor as "leave me alone" and see if he "gets it". A lot of the time Aspies have NO idea that they're putting a particular message across. Maybe the two of you can work some type of signal that he could use if there's something he'd need to talk about. If you guys make it concrete, there's no mistaking it! You really are a compassionate and wonderful friend - we could use more of you in the world! Beth [/QUOTE]
