How many friends do you have? And why does it feel like every PwS has friends except me? Even a Speech Language Pathologist that I saw said that PwS don't really have trouble making friends. So why do I not have many friends? I am not rude/mean but I am awkward, **but I'd say its almost 95% due to my stutter.** However my SLP said that they aren't connected, but I feel like he is only saying that to make me feel better. Can everyone vote how many friends they have? To make things more objective lets define a friend as someone you see regularly and **both** they invite you/you invite them to do social activities together.
