hello everyone, i’m looking to make a friend

i’m almost 23, i believe i’m currently suffering with autistic burn out. i’ve no interest in anything currently, overstimulated with my surroundings yet extremely bored and unmotivated to do anything. i get overwhelmed at work and find myself crying most nights.

for as long as i remember i have always struggled making and maintaining friendships and i have never had an autistic friend that i feel i don’t have to pretend around. i have been completely without proper friendships for well over 2 years now, i have forgotten how to socialise, and don’t know how a friend should act and what they should do and talk about. the only people i regularly socialise with outside of work is my nanna and my boyfriend, i would love to have friends but i don’t know how to make them can anyone help?

  • Hi Mollie, I'm 26 and just been diagnosed. I'm also suffering from autistic burnout so I really sympathise. I feel like I don't really make any new friends anymore and just feel different. Sorry I can't really help, but I'm here to be a friend! It can be so lonely.
