I’m a new member and I’ve been feeling really lonely lately with my autism and anxiety.

Good morning from America, Casey!
I’m sorry I’m just now seeing this. Every time someone posts on the forum the admins have to approve it. The good news is that makes the site a whole lot safer (we had a period of time where the forum was bombarded with scammers). The bad news is that sometimes your first post can get buried in the feed and go unnoticed. Hopefully others will notice this, since me replying will bump this thread back up to the top of the forum.
Anxiety is a very common topic on here! Many of us - myself included - have a comorbidity of Autism and anxiety. I’m sure there will be others on the forum that can easily empathize with what you’re going through.
One good idea is to give us a bit of an idea what you’re interested in! If there’s one thing we all have in common, it’s that we usually have intensely positive feelings towards specific topics or activities. You can click on my name to see what I have an interest in as an example!
So welcome. I wish you well.
