Making new friends

TammyElizabeth

Hi, I’m quite new here so a bit anxious about posting but I’m 30 years old female who has autism and also suffers with OCD, depression, agoraphobia and anxiety. My interests and hobbies are animals, particularly reptiles and insects. I also like gaming, my favourite games are Fortnite, Overcooked and anything Mario. I do lots of crafts too like crochet and jewellery making, just looking to hopefully make friends who understand and who might have similar interests as I’m quite isolated and struggle with loneliness due to my agoraphobia :)

  • Dear TammyElizabeth,

    Welcome to the community! It is really great to have you as part of the community, 

    I love the sound of your hobbies, I wish I could crochet but I knit and cannot seem to make sense of crochet. 

    I was wondering if you had ever taken a look at our https://www.autism.org.uk/autism-services-directory -there are some helpful links to support that might be available in your area. Though I understand it might be hard to access some of it due to agoraphobia but I hope there may be something helpful there for you. 

    Please reach out if you ever have any questions or want some connection from the community. 

    Best wishes,
