Meet Ups For Adults

What have your experiences been like?

  • I didn't know there were meet-ups for ASD adults. Over the last few decades or so, the only socialising I have been comfortable with were parties with co-workers who got drunk very quickly, or invites when I am out of the country and nobody wanted to practise their English so all I need do is smile. I try to avoid anything else where it would be polite for me to participate in conversation. But I greet people in the doggy park, and I know they do ask about me if they don't see me for a few days. That is reassuring. But I do think I should try to try harder to engage with people.
