I'm a disabled introvert - how can I help my daughter make friends and go do fun things?


I have a really bad situation ongoing with endometriosis (most of my adomens internals are superglued with adhesions and it hurts like hellfire all the time). I'm going to get surgery at some point, but until then, I'm very limited in walking/moving. After surgery I'm expecting 3-6months recovery.I'm an introvert. In every sense of the word. Every test is like 99% introvert. I'm working on it and trying but its difficult.I feel horrible that my daughter (1st grade) may end up accidentally isolated and lonely because of this. She's kind of a nerd like me.. so.. It's hard for me to find likeminded kids for her. She also has ADHD and I know its accidentally isolating for her sometimes. We are working on managing it.I have looked at clubs and groups near me. I've spent days trying to find ANYTHING. I found a game night group but it only meets on the weekends she's at her dad's house. I found game nights but most of them are for adults or pokemon cards. I tried finding info about Girl Scouts near me but didn't get far - they never said what to expect in cost and time commitments. There's no point if we have to regularly drive long distances or the meetups are only when kiddo is at her dad's.She doesn't care for my bff's 3 kids much. My other bff lives 1.5hrs away so there's not many chances hanging out with her kids.I'm thinking gymnastics at least for now but I don't know what else to do. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2xJaMn6
