I’m a 19 year old woman and I am disabled. I am autistic, have a condition called nvld, i also have sensory processing disorder, tourettes syndrome and three types of anxiety. this all leads me to struggle a lot in my daily life. I feel as if I don’t have any independence as I can’t really do anything alone and have to rely on others. At the moment im unsure as to what to do because I want to make friends and have a project to work on but I am hardly able to leave my house and I don’t work due to my disabilities.
Does anyone have any ideas of what I could do in my spare time or how I can feel less lonely without going to places since I can’t go on my own? I hope this post was okay, i couldn’t think of what to say really.
Hi there! So long as you have an internet connection and a computer, you should get creative. I keep myself busy in my spare time with creative projects. Start a blog or a YouTube channel. WordPress is great for blogging as you get a big community with it and meet people online with similar interests.
If you like video games, join Twitch. You can chat and contribute to live streams and that's a good way to socialise a little. There's always someone streaming, too, so find streamers you like! It does help you feel less lonely.
Creativity is really important, though, it's the thing that's kept me sane over the last 10+ years working on my writing projects.
thank you, I’ve been meaning to start a blog even though I’m unsure of how to and what to write on there. I don’t really play video games but appreciate the advice!
