I realise I'm terrible for this - I'm so sorry that I'm that unreliable. I wouldn't like someone to cancel like that on me either. I don't come most times because I only go to make new friendships, because I want to be able to talk to people who think like me. But, a lot of the time peoples' AS seems to be only a part of their lives, and are only attending to find out more about their AS. I feel like I don't fit into any group, that is the truth. I suppose it's only human to really want to be understood, but I think I've got to learn not to place so much emphasis on finding someone who understands me, cos it obviously isn't making me happy. Besides, people with strong opinions do tend to fall out with each other, or at least in my experience.
Maybe we could meet up one to one sometime Raven, because I'd really like that. I'm not saying it out of social nicety.
I dont mind too much about people changing their minds, I understand as going to meet ups is nerve wracking sometimes, I think its hard for all of us.
It would be great to meet up, I will pm you when the kids go back to school and we can meet up for coffee and cake!
I think its often hard for aspies to get on with anyone, as we all have our difficult ways. I think the only solution is to be a bit forgiving of each other, for our faults and failings. Of course we all loose our tempers sometimes and everyone has disagreements and everyone (even NTs) has problems in friendships, but I think its worth it, to keep on trying and to be a bit tolerant and forgiving of ourselves as well.
Be great to see you soon, its been far too long
