Hi, I am newly diagnosed at 20. Making friends has always been a struggle for me because i have a low social battery and never know what to say and also am autistic, so hopefully I can make meet people through here. I love listening music particularly 90s and dancing, sometimes art aswell. I find it difficult to talk to others and unfortunately things never really work out where I am able to get close to others, I really haven't met many autistic people in my life, and often struggle with a lot of loneliness sometimes more when i try and hang out with others because I cannot really relate to others and feel so off and left out.
I wouldn't mind if anyone would want to chat.
I'm recently diagnosed too! At 21! I always struggled with making friends when I was younger, but now I have a group of friends who are all very lovely. I've found that the people I get along with best tend to also be autistic or neurodivergent. There seems to be a greater level of understanding between us. I'd be happy to chat ^u^ do you play video games at all?
I know what you mean, I cant take the constant gaslighting either
I find that neurotypicals just gaslight the hell out of you, or try to patronize you...and THATS the NicE ONES
That's my dream unless I make one from lego or a mini one.
Do you have a zen garden? That must be peaceful.
I've been a member on and off
it means I'm excited and happy to chat. How's it going? You've been a member quite a while if I recall correctly?I was trying to remember how long I've been a member. I think definitely at least 5 years.
Hi there
I'm 40 years old and would like to chat. What does I'm game mean?
Hi I'm 42. You might prefer to talk to someone your own age. If anyone nearer my age reads this and wants to chat sometime though I am game. Life on the spectrum can be lonely.
:-)are you happy to chat with me? Despite the age difference?
That sounds nice
I really enjoy going there and we're on the summer break. Restart less than 2 weeks where having a barbecue
Oh cool do you enjoy it? what's it like
I'm involved in voluntary work with Estuary Ladies, where women of all ages come together to learn new skills and socialize
Hi, Yes I can relate alot to the bullying and ignoring. What type of group if you dont mind me asking?
Hello
I'm 40 years old female and I was diagnosed when I was 20 years old. Unfortunately got largely ignored and bullied. Now I go to a group where do different things.
Hey. Well I just feel left out because I guess of being slower to process what people mean and are saying and just feeling no ones ever appreciated my traits, growing up ive just dealt with alot of bullying unfortunately. I guess because it happens really often? its hard to explain
Yeh I’ll chat. I’m 24 so yeh I have a bit of experience in earth. That’s a shame why do you feel left out if you don’t mind me asking? I don’t feel left out. I don’t feel bothered if people don’t like me. It’s life. People do like me though as I am a nice guy.
