Struggling with Modern technology

Deleted User

All my adult life, I've struggled with Modern Technology and I'm wondering if this is autism related, I was diagnosed as autistic last August and I am currently struggling with adding contacts on my Yahoo mail contacts list via ,mobile phone and I gave up in frustration that I can't work out how to do it.

is it because I'm a 52 year old man and Modern Technology is for the younger generation or is it definitely Autism related?

    I don’t use yahoo but I found these instructions on how to add contacts to a yahoo mail account. Just click on the link.

    I don’t think autistic people are particularly prone to technology struggles. I know some people younger than you who are great using technology until it comes to something like adding contacts, so you are not alone. In some ways, using technology is a bit like learning a new language, and the more often you use it, the easier it becomes. Most of the common problems can be resolved by searching online. I hope this helps.
