Body language does work for us to a certain extent and many of us sort of know how to zone in on each others interests and avoid the other things.Also, many of us I think can kinda pick up each others state of mind and can figure out when someone is zoned out and what disturbing that might do to them.Also, bear in mind that non-autistic social rules can often be dropped in these groups. Being judgemental is kinda frowned upon.

I've heard about the red/yellow/green button things, but we've never tried that.One reason I think it would never work for our group is that all of us feel comfortable talking about certain things and not so comfortable talking about other things, and there's no way you can really convey those details in a colour code.One person in this group writes their interests down on a piece of paper and shows it to people to help the getting to know you process go smoothly. That works well.

Eddy did yur group have that red group/yellow grup/green group thing? ( Not wanting to speak at all, mixed, and social) because I am sort of none of the above. In the space of an hour I can go from very social to just acting to barely there at all. Does that make me yellow? Sometimes I don't respond even though I want to. I like when you focused on the view and the dots. Patterns like dots can be so comforting.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Social anxiety was a major stressor for me at work, which I've already talked about. When I first approached the social club, I was quite anxious as well, and mistakenly offending some still worries me, but it's OK really. As long as people are open minded and accepting, things tend to sort themselves out.

Yes, absolutely! I reckon it applies to other groups as well, and for those areas without social groups, it might help to start one. |
