have you been to a social group?

qwerty

I saw that NAS has an adult autism social group in my local area. But I'm too afraid to go. I don't know anyone there, so I don't know how to 'social' when I get there. 

Would anyone like to share their experiences of going to such a group for the first time? (it seems first time should be hardest?)

  • I've never been to an actual NAS social group.  And I am usually very bad in any group setting.

    But, I have attended a few group sessions organised by MIND.

    Most of these are very friendly and the people there were as anxious as I was about the group meetings.  

    The real hardcore anti-socials/recluses/anxiety prone people never make it to the group meetings.

    The thing about many of these group meetings is that it's difficult to get on them.  They are often overbooked.  Then many people don't turn up .
