Hi,
I'm deaf and I have a hard time socializing with people. No one in my family want to learn sign language. When I'm around people I don't get everything and I tend to get bored. I just go in another room and watch TV, or listen to music. I don't get scare going to events or being with my family. I just get tired to to catch up on the conversation and when there two conversations going on at the same time and in the same room. I think I may have AVPD. I will see my Psych Dr. next month and ask her what she think. Meaning adding another diagnosis (5 in all on Dx.) loveyouhun |

I'm sorry that no one in your family has put in the effort to learn sign language to communicate with you
 I would wager that it's the lack of accessibility to having conversations that causes the social isolation more so than AvPD (at least based on what you've shared in this post).

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
