Hello! I'm in need of a companion.

Dale. C

Hello, I'm 16 and I have autism and ADHD. I've been quite lonely for the past few weeks and I need a friend to keep me company.

I've been finding College really stressful because of the massive crowds of people I've never seen before and the really loud noise levels. I'm also scared of people possibly bullying me because I was bullied a lot in secondary school. I'm currently doing a course which puts me at home most of the week. I really enjoy drawing from my imagination and I would have hoped to do something like that at College but it's not working out at all.


When I'm at home, I usually play video games on either my Nintendo Switch and PC but, as you might have guessed, I've been playing single player a lot and it's impossible to keep on enjoying it alone. I like games like 'Minecraft' or 'Garry's Mod' where it allows you to experiment and create what you want. I would also like to share my drawings with others. I mostly draw imaginary characters which are human-shaped animals/creatures with differing personalities and traits.

I would really like to meet someone who accepts who I am because this is the first time I've really asked for a friend like this.

    Hi Dale have you been finding college more stressful than school? Noise is definitely an issue at college and trying to talk to people as well then makes it even more difficult. Are you hoping to make friends at college or going mainly for the course? I have played Minecraft but haven’t really got into it what keeps you interested in playing?

    I probably found school more stressful because of how linear everything was. I felt like I was doing horribly and that I wasn't capable due to being constantly bullied, the lack of proper help and everything having a deadline.

    I would really benefit from having some close friends to help with my confidence and wellbeing. The course will have to wait until I'm ready for it.

    What keeps me interested in Minecraft is the colossal amount of possibilities and ways to play it. I really enjoy creating things and Minecraft offers a ton of different ways to do that.
