Greetings! I am new here.

Hello, I am a 26 year old autistic man.

I’m new to this community, and I wanted to introduce myself and say hello! I’m an autistic adult looking to connect with other autistic people, learn from their experiences, and hopefully make some new friends along the way.

Some of my biggest interests are anime, marvel, dc, Godzilla, transformers, video games, and strength training. I’m especially passionate about unconventional lifting, which has become a huge part of my life!

I’m also interested in hearing about other autistic adults’ experiences with friendships, finding a sense of belonging, and navigating everyday life. Often it can be difficult to find people who understand your experiences, and I’d love to connect with others who can relate.

What are some of your interests or hobbies? I’d love to hear about them!

  • Hello and welcome, I'm also a 26/27 year old autistic man who's also knew to this community. I'm also quite interested in video games, along with reading and steam trains.

    I've found in my short time here that it can be helpful, especially talking with people with similar interests and experiences. Navigating everyday life can be difficult, especially when it comes to initiating conversations or making new friends, but this is probably the best place to start.

    Hey, nice to meet you. Yeah I also found it extremely helpful talking with people with similar interests and experiences. Especially in making friendships or any bonds in general. As the years go by I realized more that literally almost nothing else catches my attention except for my special interest. There can literally be a group conversation going for hours and I’ll barely say anything until something related to my interests gets mentioned. I definitely agree with everyday life being difficult. And I had  my struggles making conversations and new friends too. And yes this is indeed the best place to start. I wasn’t bumping into enough autistic people in person to share similar experiences with, so I figured here would be ideal for that.
