Autistic, lonely, here because social prescribing said to try.

  • I read the replies. I don’t usually do communication (online or in person), so I don’t know what to do next. Thanks for replying.

  • Hey there Stevie. One thing you could try is listing things that you are interested in or not interested in. A lot of us find it easier to connect when we know that, since many of us have strong passions.

    For example: I like disco culture, video game music, greyhounds, the moon, information/research on Autism, and etc.

    Do you have anything you’re passionate about?

  • I don’t really have active interests at the moment. My partner died in 2017, three days before our son turned three, and most of what I was into dropped off after that. I used to like industrial and goth music, retro computing, and physics, but I find it hard to engage with any of it now.

  • I watched Carlo Rovelli's presentation at the Royal Institution on YouTube related to white holes.

    One of the most interesting things I'd seem on a while. You need to be able to get your head around distorted spacetime.

    You can also get some good quantum physics lectures for free from MIT, along with others physics courses. I watched a load a few years ago. It's amazing how much really good information is available.

    Even if the maths gets a bit much you can follow along to grasp the concepts 

  • One of my current favourites is the notion that time is an emergent property of the laws of physics. Carlo Rovelli has a few books on it, but it's kind of mind-blowing, so I'm not sure I fully grasped the concept (which might mean I'm doing OK).
