I want to make friends online and IRL

Just start sending people pms. I think that's what I'd advise.

You're welcome to pm me if you want. I'm in Scotland though, so the distance might be a problem, and I'd prefer real life friends that I can actually meet in person myself.

I am also trying to write stories. It does not come easily to me so Im enjoying it as a challenge. I enjoy science fiction, especially space opera, what genres do you like?

Do you like animals, then, as well as animal crossing? they do not need talking and it is a way of helping another creature.

I also do a lot of audiobooks. I like to make art while listening.

I'm not exactly the Friendship Guru myself. How about you talk about things you like? Hobbies and such. Shared mutual interest is a popular starting point for meeting people. Maybe someone here shares your hobbie, or can direct you somewhere.

Hello,

have you looked at AIM as they are London based and I met up with them at the Downing street protest in September and met some nice people. I know there are several NAS groups and social groups in London that meet up such as one in Greenwich. 

Hello,

Well I have a passion for helping others so I decided to pursue a career in nursing despite the difficulties I have been having with the communication side of things. 

I like listing to audio books, writing my own stories, drawing and collecting various glass art. 

I like animal crossing and dream light valley on the switch as my favourite games.

I am very quiet and not very talkative so I  think that’s the main reason why I have a hard time making friends.

Thanks for you message

HI Jai,

Tell us about what sorts of interest you have, especially at uni, or near where you live. I lot of times having a common interest is a good starting place. Someone here may shsare your interests too. Lots of times there are events oriented towards our special interests?

Hello,

I haven’t had an in-depth look but couldn’t really find anything in my local area. I don’t know where to start to be honest. I try and have another look online. Thanks.

Jai

Hi Jai. Have you checked if there are any autism groups in your area on Meetup?
