I was recently diagnosed with autism in my early 40’s and it’s been making me think about how, although I have friends, it feels like such a lonely place because I might not act interested in people or want to talk but I still crave friendship. Does anyone have any advice on this?
Hi and welcome to the community!
The NAS has a good article on the subject, which you might find helpful:
