First of all, thanks Bill for inviting me to this group.  My social life has really taken off these past few months.  We have a family who we now consider part of our family as we have all become so close.  The older daughter is my son's girlfriend who is loved by her parents.  They both have Aspergers so they really understand each other.  The mom, Heather, and I message each other a lot, mostly talking about our kids. We do so much together and Heather is going to give my son son cooking lessons.  She loves to cook and we love to eat! lol

Just know for those who are still struggling with socializing, it's still hard for me too.  No matter how much people tell   me they love me I still believe at times that I am alone.  It's very painful and its part of my illness.  So I am sending out hugs and prayers that we an all find a place where we belong,among others who love us.
