"How do I get my 4-year-old autistic daughter to stop hitting other kids? I am at my wit's end. Does it get better with ABA? I am not able to attend many family parties with her." - member of MyAutismTeam

On MyAutismTeam, the social network and online support group for parents of kids with autism, members talk about a range of personal experiences and struggles. Social life is one of the top 10 topics most discussed.

Here are a few question-and-answer threads talking about social life:

• Has anyone put their child in Social skills group? Did you think it worked? Would you recommend it?
• What therapies have you found helpful for teaching social skills?
• How to deal with aggressive/rough behavior at the playground?

Here are some conversations talking about social life:

• Does anybody have time for a social life? My whole life revolves around my son.
• I just dropped my son off at a youth event at our church. I’m always so nervous for him, but he wants to expand socially.
• Went to a five-year-old birthday party this weekend where he knew no one and did well. He stuck by us a lot until he found the playroom.
