I am struggling, lost and lonely

Hi. It has been a while since I have been on the forum. I have a stable work life and I am doing well in it, but I feel that my personal life has become a real mess. I have no real friends, I have let my parents down, I have no relationship and I can't even get a place to myself. I don't know where to start writing, I just know I need to start.

  • Dear NAS66392,

    Welcome back to the community. I can see that Cinnabar_wing has already given some great advice on podcasts and I hope that it works for you as well. I want to reassure you that you are not alone in feeling this way, but the online community is here for you. 

    I have some links that may be helpful to take a look at:

    Loneliness 

    Making friends

    You could also take a look at the NAS Autism Services Directory it is an easy way to find services, support groups and opportunities to make friends that are local to you. 

    It is great that you have reached out today, and it will be great to have you back on the online community.

    Best wishes,

    Olivia Mod
