Hello

Coppo

I’ve been told I’ve to join here 60 years old with autism , they say(psychiatrist/paychologist) I might be able to connect better with other autistic people.

I can talk to people at work but the dead same people if I see them outside of work I run into a shop, panic sets in, just need some friends as I have none.

  • Hi   I'm a similar age to you, also autistic and regularly join in and post on this website.

    I find it gives me a chance to practice "being myself" amongst "like minded people" a lot of the time.  In perhaps the way that has been suggested to you.

    Friendship means a whole lot of different things to a whole lot of people - mutual trust and support comes easier here than perhaps in other places I find.

    Hehe, although I for one have made mistakes to learn from along the way on here as just using the written word can sometimes mean context and intention about how and what one is communicating can get misplaced sometimes.

    The sort of affection that is sometimes associated with friendship not widely for me here yet.  Although I haven't gone out of my way to look for it myself as I guess it's not what I personally come here for.

     and  have made wise responses to your post and I think are good examples of the sort of helpful people that "hang out" here!  

    Looking forward to learning what you have to write :-)

    Best wishes :-)
