Making friends

reece_hr24

Hi everyone I’m Reece Recently been diagnosed with autism and have always had a had time making new friends so Hey what’s up everyone

Parents

  • Hi, I've always struggled with the interpersonal connection thing. I've come to the conclusion that I just don't like other people, which isn't great as I really want/need to find a real genuine in person friend. I think that adult men generally struggle with making friends and being autistic just compounds the issue.

    I know plenty of people but are they friends, I don't think they are, I wouldn't feel comfortable opening up to any of them.

    I've joined a cycling club and my legs still aren't talking to me as the 30 mile first time out was a bit of a shock. I go to Andys mans club which I find beneficial in other ways to. I'm still looking to for other ways to encounter people that doesn't include dating sites (I don't think my wife would approve).
