Lonely adult son with high functioning autism

Acdo

Hi

My adult son has high functioning autism. He is very lonely and has no friends. He is reluctant to communicate on the web so would find it hard to meet groups of people this way. I gave looked for appropriate social groups through the autistic society in our area and they do not exist. Any ideas, we live in the South Yorkshire area?

Thank you in advance for any suggestions made.

  • If you can find the time have a look on the Meet Up website there might not be any groups for his age but you might be able to start one using this site for your local area. Give other the chance to meet others with similarities. Or being more involved in the local community by going to church or if he can doing voluntary work in something he is interested in. Not sure if this is helpful.

    All the best
