It might have to be gaming, even though I have very little interest. There is in fact a gaming place not too far away.
Well, on one hand, gaming isn't for everyone, so if it's not for you, it's not for you.
That being said, most D&D groups are pretty inclusive, and it's typically welcoming to all.
One of the best games I ever played involved a six year old. She did not want to play, she just wanted to be included in the group. So she volunteered to do the dice rolling and the "secretary work" (keeping track of player/monster health). We looked over her work, but she did not make mistakes. We were allowed to focus on the story and she handled the dice and paperwork. Eventually she did want a character, so we made her one. That was over 30 years ago and I haven't forgotten that game. I hope she hasn't either.
