I want to make friends online and IRL

Jai
8 months ago

I made a post almost a month ago about not having any friends. Since then, I have not made any friends in real life or online either.

I would like to now try and be more proactive in making friends but I find it very hard to navigate this community site plus I don’t receive notifications for some reason. Are there apps where I can make friends with other people with autism?

Also, is there any in-person or online groups events, activities or social skills clubs where I can meet adults with autism. I am 22 year old female and live in London when I am not at uni and I have asperger's syndrome or level 1 autism.

I would also like to add that I have no social media except WhatsApp and don’t know how to feel about using some social media apps. Thank you.

    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,

    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

    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.
