Hi, thought I'd see if anyone had any bright ideas to help my DD, who has Aspergers and Social Anxiety. She has always had problems with friends - tends to attach to one person and finds it hard to widen her circle beyond that. What seems to happen after a while is either that DD "switches off" from the friend because of some problem (real or imagined) or the friend moves on. DD finds large groups very hard, does not relish the pub and club scene, although has done it occasionally. However, she spends most of her time either working, or at home with us. Her work is very female dominated - she has one friend there (at the moment...). Her only hobby is also very female dominated, and she is very much at the top end of the age range for it too. I know she is lonely (she has told me) and would like to have more going on socially, and to meet a boyfriend. I think she might do better getting involved in an activity, such as volunteering or Rotaract. She is keen to volunteer with animals, but there are currently no opportunities locally, and she is horrified by the idea of Rotaract - and if I'm honest I think she is not yet mature enough for it. Any ideas/experience would be appreciated! It is so sad to see how limited her life has become.
