I'm in my mid 40's and still can't seem to have real friends. I am HF ASD, have children, married and able to work as I chose a profession that requires a lot of solitude so I have no issues being productive and independent. I've been told I'm too much for a lot of people. I don't know when someone genuinely wants to be friends with me, so I try with people, open up a little, then they never want to call me back or do anything for me and after a while I feel stupid because I realize I didn't 'read the signs' again. Seriously, why can't people just be forthright instead of insisting I read their mind. My favorite hobby is sewing and anyone who would want to sew together is 30 years my senior. I'm a bit depressed right now, so this letter may sound pretty sorry. I am frustrated though that I am a grown woman but can't make any friends....grade school continued.
