[quote=Anonymous]I understand what you are saying and I was somewhat like this as a kid. I had some trouble with social anxiety as a young adult, because I’d be in situations where I didn’t know the rules, and should have had explicit explanations. I’m not on the spectrum at all. I would absolutely sign her up for Girl Scouts. At GS camp this summer, they said that camp was the place where you could be weird or not, and nobody cares. I’d also look for a book club at your library and for other activities that are not so frenetic, like chess club or service to others. I’d keep the play dates shorter and structured for now. It’s hard to keep going when you’ve had enough and want to go read. Keep the screens away as long as you can. Too many kids find friends online and not enough in real life.[/quote]
