Since I have graduated from college and have returned home to serve my sentence (read: live at home with my parents), they suggested that I join up with a social group so they can not be regaled with my presence in my room during the evenings. Any suggestions for potential social groups?

What is the REAL relationship between
you and your parents??????

HMMMMM??/???????!

I can understand the getting out of the
house and doing something. But the underlining
issue seems to lead to my first question?????

How old are YOU!

AS? LD? HFA? Mixture of Autistic Traits????

Describe this relationship with YOUR PARENTS???

HMMMMMM?

What are your interest?

How about an evening job or volunteer position someplace? (My oldest walked humane society dogs after hours so they could get some exercise. He had to quit as he kept wanting to bring animals home.)

I agree with Ghosthunter on this one.

Why would your parents be so adement to have you out of the house?

Rather close, but they want me to "get out" socially.

Tomorrow (as of this post), I will be going to my local Target store for an interview, in which I would have to work nights some of the time. What I'm concerned about is when I have to work during the day.

Jeez guys, don't be so quick to condemn his parents.
Its what any parent wants for their kid: the best life possible. They want him to get the social interaction he wants but finds it hard to get. Is that so bad?

Simple, really. They don't want me hanging around the house most evenings.

I am Ghosthunter. I am HFA and
to further that "INQUISITIVE".

I will appologize for offending you
about your parents, it just read
that way(not in their favor direction).

I will not appologize for how I probe,
it is one of my more effective tools.

and WELCOME TO WRONGPLANET!
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

My brother-in-law worked at Target for five years. He said they were VERY flexible about hours and such.

Are you looking for a day job then too or do you have one lined up?

Hope you get the job. A job will get you out and pass time.

I certainly hope so. I just checked meetup.com and most if not all the groups in my neck of the woods aren't active for lack of "organizers," which sucks a-double-$ if you ask me. :x :P :!:

My dad also suggested, amongst all things, church groups. Yeah, like me hanging out with people three or four times my age is gonna work out. The Chicago Cubs will win the World Series (or, if you live in England: Leeds United will be promoted to the Premiership) before THAT ever happens.
