How do I get my friend out of her shell?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm 16, and an autistic male. I was so anxious in public school that now I have to go to a special ed school with only 4 boys. I can't seem to connect with them. I also made a friend in late May of this year, who was a 17 year old girl, but in part because of her perfectionism and her desire to go to Harvard, and in part because she's upset that her crush is moving away, she's become so engaged in her studies she doesn't even talk to her mom anymore, let alone me. How do I get her out of her shell?
