I have a friend with aspergers... He is fine on line (but often crosses "lines", as he doesn't seem to know limits on what he says) and all his friendships are on line. He just can't function around people in reality... He has no idea on how to interact with them!
He is on an AD for underlying depression, but hasn't been given any other options as he won't see a different doc and try to push for help.
My nephew is severely autistic, and has recently started at a "special school" where he gets alot of individual attention and help and the changes in him are amazing - he will now interact with peopel to let them now of his needs and wants (which had never happened before) and I got my first cuddle off him when we visited a few weeks ago (he's 8!).
So, Iw ould think that some behavioural type therapies would be of some help.Nikki
