Any advice from latelings on what's available online for ancients (I'm 71) for socialising

Sweetpea

I'm recently diagnosed, and have thus missed out on a near lifetime of potential links with humans like myself.

I've had plenty rejections in the neurotypical world, so have more or less stopped trying.

I think online would suit me best, for a couple of reasons. It feels safer, and I'm in Scotland so face to face resources appear to be thinner on the ground, unlike in London and the South.

  • If you live near Glasgow, you could tale a look at DIFFERabled Scotland. They run a fortnightly adult friendship group, which meets on the Glasgow University campus. At the moment, they're taking a summer break (though with a couple of trips to the cinema and a couple of lunches during the break). In the past, they have also run a monthly online friendship group (but it seemed to peter out in the spring and there has been no word of it starting up again in the autumn).
