Ok, so Disclaimer. I know I create a lot of threads, I am doing this so that I can improve my understanding of body language and social situations. I can’t ask these kinds of questions to others.

I started an Internship a week ago. The Internship is managed by my University and is for disabled students.
At the moment I am trying to get my head around the social standing of the group.
The group is composed of six other members. Two of which have gone and are doing their Internship remotely.
The rest have a combination of Dyspraxia, ADHD and Deaf. They don’t appear to be Autistic or have social issues.
So, some of the problems I have noticed socially.
I). The Dyspraxia female talks a lot (Does Dyspraxia make people talk a lot?) She constantly interrupts everyone and doesn’t allow anyone to really get involved in group discussions. She volunteers for everything and will not let anyone else get ahead of her. (Volunteered to go to a meeting representing the group and said that most of us could not come) I feel that she is brown nosing.
II). ADHD girl. Less abrupt and interrupting but takes charge of everything also.
*All colleagues are competitive with their work*
These two females met after today’s staff meeting to set up various facilities. I tried to get involved but they sort of swatted me away in a polite manner.
I know that they both met up this morning as they were discussing a meeting that they were having that I was not notified of.
What is the point of this? Why are these two females grouping up and trying to do something different to everyone else and won’t allow the rest of us to get involved? To make a point that they are “special”?
Not sure how to interact with people like this. Just shut up and ignore them? That is what I am doing at the moment and it is making me feel ignored and insignificant but I don’t want to get involved in their behaviour.
