Yes it’s quite common, although loneliness is also on the rise in the general population. I often feel like I’m ‘not autistic enough’ to not feel lonely but ‘too autistic’ to work out how to fix that. Pets can be a big help, even just my little leopard gecko is a great companion. Volunteering with people who have similar interests is another way to meet people. Other than that I can’t offer any ideas as I’m still stuck with the same problem.
