The Importance of Friendship for an Autistic Child

For an autistic child, none of those things really occur to you. So you want to make friends but you don't really understand how to identify who does and doesn't want to be your friend. And as a result, you can pick the wrong friends. You can in a way force friendships. Instead of reading cues and body language and dialogue and experiences with kids. Keeping friends is so hard for my point of view... I don't know what went wrong or why I don't have friendship with people anymore.
