Making friendships

NAS80089

Hi there

I work for an organisation that supports young people with goal setting.  A person I am working with who has autism wants to meet friends to socialise with.  TThis young person is 20years old and feels quite isolated at times and this leads to low mood.

Any advice welcome with regards social settings where friendships could be formed.

    There are often local support groups for those on the spectrum that could be a good option is they are looking for other autistic young adults. But if not there’s no reason they couldn’t form friendships in the same settings as anyone else, if they are comfortable there. Use any special interests as a guide, can they join a club around it, or something like that?
