Reduced anxiety for all involved. Going to the movies, bowling, eating out at a favourite place, doing and experiencing things that people without aspergers and are social okay do. This way they are all in a supportive environment and everyone is of a different level and interest, drawing on each others skills and experiences seem to help more. Teaching someone specifically is a waste of time and like I said causes more harm than good. The little nuances of friendships or interpersonal relationships is not taught. Most with aspgers are visual learners so doing and being guided is more effective and has less anxiety around it.Punkmummahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08294822225294560753noreply@blogger.com
