first off , i wouldn't go in the first place , being afraid of crowds , if i was forced to go , i would try to stay hidden in a corner , or in the back of the room , away from others

I do it once a month; it's a whole bunch of adults staring at the ground, a whole bunch of children screaming, and a couple of children squealing (non-verbal). I'm in the former staring at the ground group, I tend to rock/sway more than the others (interestingly enough, I actually haven't noticed an adult rock/sway).

I don't wish to interact with them anymore than I do "normal" people, in fact, I don't like being around them because I know the discomfort they're feeling. I'd rather be in the presence of "normal" people (because I cannot read them).

I don't want to be in the presence of anyone however.

The food fight appeals!

Fun without communication, in fact I can remember a few in the past and YES were great - autism_diva great photo and looks lots like all the children had too much fun :wink: only wish I could of joined in.

That sounds really uncomfortable.. I am not sure what the point is of getting a whole lot of people who find other people incredibly stressful to the point of stimming, in a room together...

With AS groups it appears there are some that are talkative and verbose and others are more quiet and dont want to join in.. quieter aspies seem to like more structured discussions... it is hard to please everyone...

Another thing that I hear helps is board games and games like pool, where the aspies can intellectually interact via a game without being made to feel they should be socialising with each other.

I personally prefer an unstructured group because I love the wealth of information aspies can share... but im talkative.

Here is a question What would you do in that situation.

I personally wouldn't know what I would do it would depend on my mood on the day it would happen if I am really happy I would proberbly hang around with everyone if I am in a really bad mood don't want to talk I would sit in for about 5 minutes and leave.

So again what would you do?


I would do what I do in most unfarmilliar situations...

Stand by the door analyzing everything, walk inside, sit down and think about something completely irrelevant to try and get rid of anxiety.

well, i might try a trick of my highschool variety- such as driving a hot-wheels car along the walls of the room- or just something where i could play and focus on an object and not have to look at people, but still be slightly-off/interesting enough to cause people to watch what i was doing, and eventually someone would ask me why i was doing that or if they could play.

or, i might go to a person in the corner and tell them that i will fight them for their spot in the corner, and see what they do.
