Making friends online

Kate Kestrel

Hi, I’m an autistic woman and I’m looking to make friends online. In the past I haven’t felt the need for friends but in recent months I’ve been struggling with anxiety during the pandemic and I’ve started to feel a lonely and isolated. I have a loving and supportive family but recently I’ve felt it would be nice to make friends with other autistic people online. I’ve looked for friendship groups for autistic people that are purely online but haven’t found anything suitable. 
I’m an artist and my interests are art, the countryside and nature, literature, music, films and tv. I like cooking too. 
I’m married and have 2 wonderful autistic children (one male and one non-binary). 

If anyone wants to make friends on here please say hello :)

  • Hi Kate,  It's not what you're looking form and i wouldn't recommend it, especially for a woman, but i did PoF online dating for a long time. One of the friends i talk to, we only ever met in real life once. She didn't drive and i don't like driving, and we lived over 100mls from eachother. After initial emails we moved onto Skype. But what she did to make purely online friends was, joined a scrabble forum. She told me everyone put themselves into a group.......... good; bad; and rubbish. So you were playing someone similar to yourself. It meant you'd be playing the same person over and over again, and maybe become friends.
