hi, felt like posting this

i met a friend at autism camp, and she invited me to a movie on the 2nd of january. she has a lower language skills than me but thats ok. shes also a tad bit more socially impaired but thats ok too.

cant say im not nervous just because im not used to her yet but since i have a few days to prepare it wont be so bad.

she likes more girly things than i do, so it would be hard to find a topic we have in common. she also likes a show called 7 Little Monsters, i used to watch it when i was a kid but forget some of the episodes, i might watch a few episodes so if she wants to talk about it she can.

I didn't know there was a such thing as "Autism camp."

In my area it isn't so cool. They often lump the high functioning kids with low functioning kids. I can only be around low functioning kids for ten minutes at the most. I really hate being in the same group as the low functioning kids. They even did this on a group called "Asperger's group."
