> > My T has been very supportive of my involvement in babble. I don't speak often of it, and usually in terms of communication styles, or when I've been able to meet up with other babblers IRL. In this way, babble has become an invaluable resource to me, as since I stopped working a few years ago my social circle became smaller and smaller. Yet I'll think nothing of being on an opposite coast - or another country - and meeting up with a friend that I've met here. It's like babble can "get around" the social anxiety issues that I have by letting me get to know people here first before making our acquaintance face to face.

I'm just speaking from my own personal experience here.CS
