[quote=Anonymous]My Aspie/ADHD son is 20 and his last friends were in middle school. He seems perfectly happy without friends, but I suspect that the idea of finding and maintaining friends is just so alien to him, operationally and socially speaking, that he prefers to not even try. It's sad, because it will materially impact his professional networking, and his private support network. He is very introverted with us as well, and needs a lot of quiet downtime. He doesn't do daily casual conversation and gossipy stuff. Occasionally he volunteers things from his campus life: he tends to share events that stress him out, like finals, and funny videos or info about his hobbies. But apart from "how are you?", he doesn't seem to know how to ask specifics from his loved ones or how to sustain a conversation related to topics that are not his favorite subjects. And yet we've tried - he's been to multiple social skills groups and therapy over the years. Sigh. [/quote]
