Hello lovelies, I am so glad I have found this community, I have been looking for an online support community for ages. I have been really struggling with loneliness this year and I have set a goal to work on making more friends and being a part of a lovely community. I have always struggled to make friends, but my dear friends I do have are autistic and/or have ADHD like me. It is so nice to connect with people who actually know how it feels and isn't trying to force you to be neurotypical. This is a long waffle-y way to say Hello and I can't wait to meet you all.

  • Hello and nice to meet you too, .

    Is your screen name a hint at your passion in life, or are you just teasing? Cool either way!

    It's great that you have a nice friend group. A lot of us will be jealous. Wink How did you all meet?

    Hello  it's lovely to meet you too Slight smile My screen name is a hint at my magpie-like tendencies to collect jars and then fill them with trinkets Smiley 

    You are so kind, I have 2 very sweet friends, both of whom I met online, one I've known for 11years and the other for 2 years. Once I make a friend I try super hard to keep in touch and check in regularly, especially as we all deal with similar issues. It can help to bond with people who understand what you're going through and you don't have to justify why you're struggling etc. 

    I am going to stop waffling on now or I'll end up writing an essay Smiley
