I'm getting a little concerned with some of my friends - all undiagnosed aspies and married - but they're crumbling under lockdown - they're losing the ability to communicate.
They are all techy / nerdy types and either don't work or work from home so they are not interacting with anyone else - and haven't really spoken to anyone but me for many months. their wives 'mother' them so they are .descending into bad places.
i'm noticing their behaviours are becoming a lot more introverted and spiralling down. One of my friends of over 15 years is turning into Ruprecht from "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKDUDF3cgRA
They all live miles away so visiting is difficult so I can only talk on the phone - any ideas for keeping them sane?
Frightening stuff. I'm going the same way. Need some time away from computers. Visiting a place of interest An expedition somewhere.
Meet up with me in Dorset??
Hi Dave - You sound like someone I'd happily spend an afternoon in a pub garden with - but I'm hundreds of miles away.
