Oh how do you help a child with Asperger's meet and keep friends?

</div></font></blockquote><font class="post">I have a daughter who is very introspective, doesn't interact well with people, and doesn't really have friends. I don't know if she has Asperger's or not, but maybe. She has one extracurricular activity that she has managed to keep up over the years, which is soccer. I really encourage her to stick with this. She has known this group of girls on her team for about 7 years. I can't say she is good friends with any of them, but they know her and will talk to her at the practices and games. So this is one place where she gets some interaction with peers. Otherwise, she would be solo 100% of the time and never interact with kids her age. Her teachers have told me that she doesn't really talk to other kids at school. So my advice is to keep them involved in an activity or two, preferably with a stable peer group (kids not changing every year, at least not too much).

If you have any other ideas, I would love to hear them.
