I have a friend with AvPD who is also a genius I think. Could you please give me some guidelines as to how to interact with him
to make him feel comfortable? I have worked on a project with him successfully. But most of our interaction was via email or texts. I wanted more face to face time so I invited him to my house for dinner with 10 people. That was a big mistake since I could tell he was very uncomfortable. Now I am trying to rebuild his trust. I asked him if we could work on another project which would be strictly business with no social components. He seems to be OK with that. What should I do and not do to make him feel comfortable. He will still text from time to time but not much like he did before the fateful dinner. Before the dinner he was a great fun and funny texter and an extremely interesting person.
