my response to a lady concerned about her aspies childs withdrawal. not an easy thing to deal with for the mother or the child.
I am 30 years old and still have trouble with this. Its difficult for an aspie to interact ( especially if social phobia is involved, which you may need to address with a professional counselor). Do you know of any other aspies in your childs school? The thing that always got me through was (even though I didnt know it at the time) that all my friends were very much aspie or had aspie traits. I was not accepted by non-aspies and that was miserable.

Many aspies are very talkative and will go on and on about life events and special interests. These aspies are on the ADHD strand of the autism spectrum (with hyperactivity). This group tends to be known for their artistic talent and brains. Teachers that have been educated on aspergers syndrome can pick them out almost instantly. Then there are the wallflowers-the ones on the ADD strand without hyperactivity. Socially withdrawn, these are the ones in the most trouble. They are the ones that go overlooked. They lean more toward depression and or anger. They get teased and picked on in school and are the ones that most often are responsible for school shootings we hear so much about. They are also the ones that most often commit suicide as teens or adults. A special awareness needs to be brought up for these types of aspies before they hurt themselves or others.
