Anyone join Best Buddies?

Post Reply New Topic

I joined the Best Buddies program at school. It basically pairs up Nts with "abnormal" kids. I joined hoping I would learn social skills or something.
It can be pretty fun. However, my "best buddy" just won't talk to me like a normal person. He is nice, but often conversation is forced, I can tell. Other people who try to talk to me don't act this way. I think its because he knows I am "abnormal"(though he doesn't know what it is). AS is something which I have previously only shared with two close friends who I knew could care less (though one in good humor made fun of me for it once in a while) and a few people I knew my brother had told already.
I haven't really benifited from it socially. What do you guys think? Anyone else join Best Buddies?

No one at school needs to know I'm not "normal". Plus the teacher who runs it hates my guts. And she's not even my teacher!

I didn't join to let other people know about my AS, in case that was the impression you got. Telling the two people I did tell didn't do any harm, but reflecting, I'm not sure why I bothered.
