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 is very difficult. My son often puts up barriers to ideas. But in fairness it is difficult to consciously make friends for anybody. I just feel sad as loneliness is so hard. 
    i have looked on the internet but cannot see much in the way of opportunities. I just wondered if anyone had any ideas or things that had worked for them.
