Trying to find ways of meeting people

I'm looking for ways to find and meet other autistic or neurodiverse people for friendship and more, real life has not been fruitful as Swansea is completely hostile to NDs.  I always feel like an anomaly and interaction through text, online or phone is wearisome, I want a real flesh and blood person in front of me.

My purposes would be companionship and also to identify potential romantic interests.
