Never alone but always lonely

AnneMargaret

Hello. I haven't been on here for ages for many reasons. However I am feeling so very lonely right now. Well lately. I have absolutely nobody anywhere near me that I know with autism. I feel I have nobody I can properly communicate with and I'm getting really upset. Can anyone chat with me?

  • Are there any support groups in your area? Maybe contact NAS if you havn't already and see if they know of any?

  • Hi, yes I've got 13 rabbits and a cat. I talk to them the most. It's just I wish there was someone I knew with autism also. 

  • Thank you all for your replies I have read them and taken note. I will try the other sites thanks. And I have been a walk round our local lake and fed the ducks and geese. Mum took me for coffee. I guess I just fancied a chat with other people on the Spectrum. Thank you and take care. 

  • Hi AnneMargaret,

    I don't really just chat much. But just wanted to say hey. What are your interests?

    A couple of other forums:

  • Hi AnneMargaret,

    I had wondered why you hadn't been on the forums for while.

    It's such a shame that these forums don't support PMs as then it might lead to people finding friends, instead of just sounding off about one situation or another.

    Anyway, I know how you feel - I myself am surrounded by NTs none of whom I understand or who understand me - and what contact I did have with others like myself (a monthly 'social evening') came to end due to a lack of funding.

    However, one of the other people here set up a website (http://aspielikeme.host22.com) precisely for this very purpose - to possibly meet and chat with like minded individuals on the spectrum - perhaps you would like to take a look and maybe sign up - it's been a little (well, a lot) inactive of late, but that's simply because not many people have signed up there yet.

  • put on the radio and listen to people talking helps the loneliness, write on the computer as your are doing, walk in the sun tomorrow, sit in cafe drink hot chocolate, see the colours all around you, smile at the clouds, do not be concerned the earth loves you as a beautiful flower
