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