I will be the first member of WP to endorse this, because I know it can help from personal experience. My experience with drama, starting in intro to theatre class, then my debut minor role in Romeo and Juliet, followed by The Miracle Worker and Bye-Bye Birdie, all of this helped to break me out of my shell that I had wrapped myself in after barely surviving middle school. It worked for me, it can work for you.

And haha, no. I was not paid by the OP to post this. I don't even know the guy?/lady? hell idk. I really am a former theater nut and I believe it helped me.

Children's Theatre saved my life.

I was undiagnosed as a child (obviously, since the diagnosis didn't exist), but theatre training taught me how to control my voice, my body, how to communicate with a fellow actor, how to perform for an audience.

Almost all of the social skills I have today I have because of the craft I learned as an actor, starting at age 7.
