Please give me feedback on early Figma mockups for an for Friendship Maintenance for Autistic Individuals

No it’s a lot of work in my experience. Particularly if you’re a different kind of autistic person from the kind of autistic person you’re trying to stay friends with. Of the handful of people I’m still friends with A lot of them are neuro divergent but they’re also typically highly introverted. Or at least that’s how they behave nowadays they were much more extroverted in their younger years. It seems transitioning from their twenties to their 30s has been a path that led to introversion. And that makes trying to stay connected to them really difficult because we both have really different expectations and aspirations as to how we connect with others.

Exactly! Friendships are easy to maintain when we find our own tribe, like in this autistic community!

Interesting you say that because I did find it hard work, but it was mostly self inflicted. I put pressure on myself to hold friendships together to the point I would basically ruin it.

I think I could have been more open with the friends I had, and I regret not doing so. 

I never thought I would say this but making friends and staying friends is easy with the right people. I had no friends at all at school and was convinced I just wasn’t getting it right but that changed at uni- I met likeminded people and it was surprisingly easy

Maybe what would be good is a way of facilitating meeting likeminded people with shared interests

I don’t really like the term ‘maintaining friendships ‘ . It makes it sound like hard work. In my experience true friendships don’t need conscious maintaining. They just are. If it feels like i have to make a big effort or mask it’s usually just not right. My friends and I have no expectations of how often to be in touch or see each other - but this doesn’t stop us from being close. Most of my friends  are neurodivergent too and I think that might make things easier. 
what I do find difficult is to find right balance of seeing people when I am exhausted or in state of burnout. I am now much more self aware and allow myself to retreat if necessary but sometimes pushing myself a little is good. 
the hard thing I find is to meet the right people.

I really like this idea. It's something I could benefit from as I have struggled with differentiating between different types of friends.

It got too overwhelming having "work friends", "school friends", "close friends" etc so I just decided to separate it into two - friends and acquaintances. 

To echo what Peter said, I used to keep spreadsheets too. I used to keep a list of friends and put them into categories etc. I think I saw it as a way of making sense of it all, but it did the opposite. I didn't really speak up about the fact it was all getting too much because I was embarrassed.

I'm not 100% sure how your system works but it looks like a friend tracking app. Like you'd use it to store facts about people as you're getting to know them. I did actually used to do this, with notes / spreadsheets etc. Design wise it looks fine, some of the text in the middle panel might be a bit small for older phones. It's hard to tell what it does just from some mocked up screen shots beyond a calendar / contact book / notebook that we all have on our phones anyway.
