Making friends

Flamingo

My son is autistic and we live in Sussex. He is 25 and terribly lonely. How can he meet people. He is quite shy and does not like to be out at night or pubs.

    It's been a while since I was 25, but around that age I met fine, accepting people at my university board game club. It was kind of a regular, predictable way to socialise and when I didn't know what to say I could just talk about the games themselves.

    Not sure if such clubs still thrive given the proliferation of video games though.
