In the disco at camp?

[Zoë]

We had a disco at camp (most songs i didn't know)

Im 14 with dyspraxia

I was with my school (all girls) And all of them new the songs (i new a few)

There was a few others that had disabilities too (but people were with them)

I went over hoping i could get along (because the girls from my school were dancing really crazily)

and there was a women dancing with them so i asked "can i dance here too please because my group is too much for me"

She smiled and said yes, i was really happy because i was dancing with others with learning difficulties too.
I got along really great with them, i felt like i was with family (weird i know)

I had a great time and the best thing is that i wasn't dancing (because i didn't know the song) and a member of staff came up the me and asked are you ok? "i said yes but i didn't know any of the songs"
She asked what was your favourite band and i said Sclub7 she said " i'll see what i can do" and then she put "Reach for the stars" on i was really excited.

sorry i am really hyper as i just came back and few hours ago.

But is it normal to want to be with people more like me and feel happy and comfortable with them more then my own group?

Yes, of course it's normal. Everyone wants to know other people who are in similar situations than them or who have had similar experiences in the past. You have more in common with those people and so it is completely natural to feel really happy that you have met them. They can maybe also understand how you are feeling at certain times, which your other group of friends can't understand as well as them.

I think it's great that you feel happy about meeting new people and you're clearly really excited about it - it made me smile when reading your comments!!
