Looking for Pen Pals

NAS88507

Hey Everyone,

I am the older sister of a beautiful, spirited autistic & ADHD 19yo female , who is keen on finding like minded friends. She is mentally younger than 19 but is very chatty, inquisitive and kind hearted.

I am going to let her take over the keyboard now...

'Hi my name is Shamoya, so my favourite indoor activities are  cooking, baking, bored games, arts & crafts, hair and beauty, spa day, movie night/movie day and doing letter writing and outdoors activities are cinema, Cadbury's world, swimming, picnics, costa coffee, Birmingham city centre and doing food shopping with my new friends from outside of college. I am trying my best to look for my best friends who are kind, my age and fun. Would you like to be my pen pal?'

Not asking for much is she haha. Hopefully that hasn't intimated or scared anyone off. Honestly she's just looking for a friend to write letters to as she struggles socially to create lasting and meaningful friendships in person.

Please if anyone is interested or knows anyone in a similar situation don't hesitate to get in touch.

Thank you for reading!

    Good morning/afternoon,

    Unfortunately I had pen friends who only sent a few letters and vanished without letting me know. Replied back to pen friend adverts and no response.

    I did have a successful one until got uncomfortable by sending me gifts. That's why I belong to the community forum.

    Also national autistic society used to do a pen pal section in the magazine. I'd messaged national autistic society, told them about the pen friend problem and said oh wish didn't do this in the first place. 

    Advice is to do email only as postage is expensive.

    Thank you for the warning, I have taken this into consideration, hence i am the primary contact. For now we will continue or pen pal journey as there is an excitement that comes with receiving post that isn't replicated in an email.

    Kind Regards
