Should I avoid inviting her to future social events with my other friends?

Anonymous

My friend *Mia* talks constantly and she hogs the spotlight and ruined my birthday party for my friends and I a bit; and caused 3 out of 4 of my friends to have meltdowns. We all have Asperger’s, including that friend, who went on all day about special interests that no one else shares and herself, without giving anyone else a chance to speak. I know *Mia* means well and is a good person. She’s just really severe on the spectrum and clueless about appropriate behaviour and social cues. She’s not capable of understanding how to maintain a conversation. I want to stay friends with her and I will. I know she can’t help it. I just wished the rest of us could get to join in with conversations, as a group.
