I want to meet people as I'm minimally speaking and actually have little to no real life friends. The place I'm in gives opportunities which I do take, but I'm often ignored because I can't speak that well. I'm not sure how to go about meeting people in that case. I do have moderate to severe sensory issues, I can handle a busy restaurant on a good day, but on a bad day I'd rather die than be there.
And I need something to distract me from various thoughts. I'm in my mid 20s if that's any help.
Have you looked for any local autistic groups which meet up at all? I know they're hard to come by, but something like that might be of use. I hope you find something soon, it's horrible feeling lonely and isolated, and excluded because of neurodivergent communication and sensory experience.
Yep, only one but wasn't a good experience because I wasn't really spoken to or acknowledged. Everyone there is that talkative autistic type.
