Looking for friends as someone who is going through the assessment process

Amelia

hey everyone, i am 28F and recently i was referred to a therapist who has referred me for an autism assessment, originally i was in therapy for bipolar/bpd but my therapist is certain its autism (although she cannot diagnose) which makes a lot of sense because ive always had a suspicion i was autistic. anyway, i have always struggled to make friends, i have a very healthy and stable relationship and adore spending time with him but i miss having friends. i have always found it easier to have friends online than in person. Sorry, i feel like im rambling here but needed to get my thoughts down haha. 

i am into 

  • crafting (i would say this is my safe place and special interest)
  • gaming (i mainly play switch and sometimes xbox)
  • reading 

anyway sorry if i rambled Slight smile

  • Hi I am a reader and a crafter. What are the crafts you like and the type of books you like to read? 
    I am also in the process of assessment. My therapist suggested I could go for assessment. I have a life time of anxiety and intermittent depression and self harm. Despite having a relatively nice life I have always found things very difficult. I’m pretty sure I am autistic, I would definitely bet a bit of money that I am. 
    I love an online chat and always look on here at least every day. I hope you like it here smiling face with hearts

    Hello there Slight smile i like to make tshirts, bags and cards mainly but i also do like personalised items such as cups and mugs :) what about you? my favourite things to read tend to be young adult fictions, my favourite book i read recently was .they all die at the end. it was great :) what books do you like? and it sounds like weve had very similar experiences i also have had a life time of anxiety/depression/self harm. i find online chatting easier because i find in person i have to mask, where as online i have chance to be myself because i dont have that feeling of judgement :) always happy to chat and loving it here so far Slight smile definitely look into an assessment :)
