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

    Hello! My main games ive been playing on switch recently are animal crossing, pokemon violet and Kirby :) on xbox i usually play skate, i used to play a lot of cod zombies but i found it overwhelming a lot of the time, what games do you play? Slight smile and thankyou! very nervous for the assessment but my therapist has been helping me prepare:)

  • Good morning from America Amelia!

    I’m also an avid Switch gamer, as is  . Any games in particular you have been interested in?

    Yeah, I understand finding it easier to have friends online than in person. My closest friends are spread all over America in different states, so my relationship with them is primarily online.

    Welcome to the forum and good luck with your assessment!
