It's not just spectrum people who experience this, and this piece offers some

reasons why.

I really liked the article, Helen. Good catch. The comments were very

good too.

It definitely mirrors my experience. Since I don't have kids, my major

shifts in social circles occurred when I married and when I became a

homeowner.

Incorporating single friends into a married lifestyle is not always

easy, as priorities change. Same with homeownership.

There is also the additional tensions associated with friends who (for

whatever reason) are not able to achieve these milestones. Sometimes

this can result in envy and the inevitable drifting apart that takes

place when people compare their 'success' to that of others.

Thanks for a keeper,
