Friends and Autism

This is me Venting a little so sorry about that. 
My name is Josh I’m a 22 year old adult who has autism who has struggled with friends and groups at times. I was diagnosed with autism when I was around 10. I feel like people notice things about me and a notice that I’m different in some way or another. I’ve found since coming back to university that some people don’t accept the fact that I’m different or are willing to put in more effort for others who aren’t different. I’ve found it hard to find prolonged friendships due to not liking the same environment as others as I don’t enjoy clubbing and so on. I was wondering if others have advice?

  • Hey Josh, I can relate to not liking the same environments as others, I’m much more comfortable just being in a place that feels safe with little to no human contact while I enjoy gaming or watching endless YouTube videos on wars, history, conspiracies, space. What if you don’t mind me asking makes you think you appear different to others?
