[quote=Anonymous]My 8 year old daughter, who does have Aspergers, is much younger, but also alienates people by globbing onto one kid and one kid only. It is only through lots of explicit teaching that she is beginning to understand that she can have more than one friend and that her friend can also have more than one friend. The best social skills groups for teenagers that I've heard of is PEERS: http://caatonline.com/treatment/peers/ I'd suggest that you call David Black -- who is awesome -- and discuss whether the group would be appropriate for your daughter. I had social difficulties in middle and high school -- more than typical, I think, but no diagnosis -- and I wish I had gotten more support. I don't think it can hurt, since the status quo is making her unhappy.[/quote]
