Loneliness/ anxiety

I struggle a lot with loneliness and anxiety as an autistic person as I feel so alien like and that I cannot relate or connect with others and when I am with others its worse and iam  struggling to deal with and just feeling exhausted from having a low social battery. Would anyone have many suggestions about all of this? Thanks

    Hi, 

    Firstly, remember you don’t have to change anything about yourself. It’s about you gradually gaining confidence and not labelling yourself as ‘alien’. Social interaction needs to be a pace you are comfortable with. Maybe start with general interaction as a customer eg library, small shop and build from there. In the meantime, you could also try online chat or gaming as this is when you would like it to be, in the comfort of your own home and you can switch off when you would like. I hope this helps.
