hello , i am a 30 year old male with autism, I was diagnosed at 17 so I got little to no help growing up. I currently have no friends and have never had a girlfriend. I would describe myself as having poor social skills. over recent years I have been feeling more and more lonely and have on a few occasions had uncontrollable sobbing episode's, the feeling of loneliness and overwhelming sadness is horrendous. I only really interact with family members.
I am looking looking for advice or places to go to improve my social skills, I am not socially helpless, I just struggle with eye contact ,social cues and conversational skills. thanks.
