[quote=Anonymous]Husband and I are outgoing and social. Late diagnosed ASD kid has relatively low support needs but is also super rigid and attention seeking. I miss friends. I miss having people over. I can’t figure out how to do it in our small house without triggering our kid. She won’t play board games or video games or games with rules. She won’t watch movies. She inserts herself into every conversation demanding explanations even when it’s not relevant to her. She binges good food put out for guests. She’s beloved and exhausting and I was raised around enough perfectionism that I can’t figure out how to be a good host while also tending to her needs so I just never have people over. It’s lonely. Our house is reasonably clean and well decorated. My husband is a great cook. We miss friends. How do other people manage this? Clearly we need more friends with neurodiverse kids who get it. Working on that. [/quote]
