Isolation

NAS12001

Like a lot of people right now, I am struggling with being (even more than normal), very isolated. I think being on the spectrum does make it harder. 

Everyone's life is difficult, right now. Some people have had to cope with astonishingly difficult situations. So I feel really guilty having a bit of moan. But I still feel the need to voice somewhere.

I normally don't have a lot of contact with people anyway, to be honest. But I did socialize within local autism groups. This is no longer possible. 

I go days, or weeks, without having a conversation with anyone. To be honest, it is driving me out my head. I get so stressed I find myself talking aloud, sometimes in public.

What I want to know is, how do other people cope, at the moment, with the isolation. I would appreciate your comments.

Thanks.

  • Hello,

    I am sure we all feel like this at present. I know I do as I used to be able to ride out with a small group but this is no longer possible. I worry about breaking the rules and have not even been out litter picking. However, after seeking more advice, I will resume next week. Is there anything  you can volunteer for localy? I too, miss the local autism support group but keep in contact via email so better than nothing. I agree, that there should be more social groups localy, maybe this is something we could all look at doing after the pandemic?
