[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Poor girl. But she sounds like a bright kid, she'll have other opportunities. My concern would be that she doesn't feel like she can get through the social event, not that she missed this particular opportunity. If her therapist isn't helping her find skills to actually get through it (body language, how make small talk, how to approach someone) then I would either get a new therapist or get some books. Even something like an etiquette book can help as it gives you "rules" and helps structure an unstructured situation.[/quote] FWIW, for me and many others, college is where I learned to do stuff like this. I would not have been equipped at the end of senior year. And I will be forever grateful to my shy dad who told me to ask other people questions in small talk bc people love to talk about themselves and then you don’t have to talk. Combine that simple tip with maturity and DD might well be fine long term. [/quote]
