Hello fellow autistic people! I have just found out about this brilliant website Autism Understood which is an encyclopaedia of autistic lived experience knowledge. You can also upload content or resources about autistic experience to this website. It was created by Spectrum Gaming and is a great and very positive introduction to autistic experience for our younger neurokin.
https://autismunderstood.co.uk/
I hope you like the website as much as I do!
I'm not impressed myself. Clicking on 'What actually is autism' told me nothing about what autism is, and the social stuff had virtually no useful advice about how to make friends.
If you want to find out more about autistic experience, you can click on the Autistic Differences section:
https://autismunderstood.co.uk/autistic-differences/
You could always give feedback about your opinions on the website so that it can be improved.
Maybe you didn’t learn anything from the ‘what is autism?’ section because you are autistic and already know lots about what being autistic means for you.
Hopefully you will be able to find some useful information about making friends, the website is mainly targeted at young people and therefore some information may not be relevant/useful for you.
What are your dedicated interests? Maybe you could start making friends with other autistic people who have the same interests as you.
