Hi, I need some help. I start sixth form on Friday and I am really worried about the social side of it. my best mate has decided that we need to spend practically every second together and honestly I would rather just hide in a classroom at break and lunch and not talk to anyone. I really don't understand how people do conversations and it doesn't matter how many things I read, I still don't understand. how am I supposed to spend 3/4 hours with her and talk? what the hell do I talk about? and I know that I could just tell her that but I am not sure how and I don't want to upset her, i like spending time with her, it's just exhausting.
If you have had an ASC diagnosis the 6th form college should make accommodations for you. This should include a quiet place you can go to if you become overstimulated. This should give you an opt out from your friend if you need one.
Hi, thanks for your reply. a quiet place sounds like a good idea, i am definitely going to ask them for that. any more suggestions?
