Loneliness

Rach.Mo

I’m new to the forum. I’m fairly newly diagnosed as autistic. I am feeling really lonely at the moment. I was wondering if anyone else feels this way as although my understanding is that autistic people often like their own company I don’t and I crave friendships but I seem to have difficulty making and maintaining them. I have been wondering about possibly trying to access an autism support group to try and make some links with other people and wondered if others have tried these and how they have found them.

  • I believe that autism and adhd is often a dual diagnosis, have you considered this? Myself, I'm generally happy being on my own, and can only enjoy a few hours socialising, but everyone is different 

    I know a few people who are (undiagnosed) ADHD, and they seem to need company all of the time, hence why I suggested the above
