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! I am 25 years old, also new here and have very similar interests haha, I'm looking forward to the new Minus Zero movie coming out, and recently watched and read some of the Transformers shows and comics

    For finding actual friendships, I struggle with trying to find any real connection myself, like I feel as if I can't really reach out to someone who is neurotypical as much, and like I feel as if there's no real places for someone to find to make friends

    I used to go sea swimming but with the weather getting rough, I've had to stop

    Yo I am so hyped up for Godzilla minus zero so much. I will be watching it with a close friend of mine who’s a super Godzilla fan, and another buddy who’s a super Godzilla fan. My favorite transformers show is Transformers prime, I loved the dark and serious tone of the show. Also around like more than a month ago I watched the g1 transformers movie in theaters with two friends too. I am also familiar with some transformers comics by keeping up online with some of them.

    Yeah it’s definitely very hard for autistic folks when it comes to friendships unfortunately. I definitely feel pretty grateful for the few close friends that I have in my life currently. One of them also being autistic. I will say that there definitely have been times where it was hard interacting with neurotypical people, especially when there’s no common interests. I’ll also say that it has been a challenge in some ways finding the right places to find more friends for me too. Yeah that sucks with the weather making sea swimming no longer an option. So yeah man, I hope things get easier and better for you with making friends.
