Sounds a lot like my daughter. These kids learn to compensate for not having friends (she's had one, another aspie) so I make sure she gets lots and lots of kindness and love from me. I'm looking into summer camps now, camps designed for these kids, and believe this will give her a real sense of herself.

4-H has been the best thing for us.

Having to describe her projects to the judge, talk to the touristas who visit the shows, work with, train and care for her animal....she has just BLOOMED ! She is WAY more confident, way more at ease around people.

Of course, having a ribbon or two to show, and pins and certificates of achievement are good for her head, too!

LMK if you want a hook into 4-H in your area. It's just the best.
