Hello. I am really pleased to have joined this community. I recently came to understand that I am autistic after moving out of my parents house a year ago. I am 32.
I enjoy just being on my own in my flat, not talking to anyone for 4 days in a row. I am not interested in having friends or relationships with anyone. I do play wheelchair rugby, have a personal trainer and visit my family. But I have never been interested or liked having 'normal' friends. I have a couple online friends who I have met, but they don't live close to me.
Its something I struggle with because people are meant to want friends and a romantic partner, but I never have. Even since I was a young child/teenager. I am wondering if anyone else feels like this and how they understand it. Thanks.
