The Aspie lady therapist I see on occasion has asked me to meet with two other young Aspie women to discuss and interact with one another. A semi support group if you will, but I have a problem with this besides not being very social. I don't like being Aspie.

Apparently these two 20 yearolds are lonely and are having a rough go with Aspergers at this point in their lives. I havn't given my therapist/friend an answer as I don't believe I'm a very good candidate for encouraging and helping these young women, but the therapist seems to think I might be of help to them. Another problem I have is my husband is often tired and late getting home and has lately brings work home with him and I don't have anyone to keep our daughter really.

What should I do here?

Personally, I think you should go. You might make two really good friends because you all will speak the same language.

I've found it's very easy to talk to others who share my interests. I've only met one person that I knew had AS, and he was very easy to talk with. We spent most of the time talking about AS, of all things. :)
