Looking for friends

Rach.Mo

I’m 48 and have recently been diagnosed with autism and autistic burnout. I’m feeling isolated and lonely, I’d like to make friends, especially as I have had to take most of the year off sick due to the burnout. Would like to make friends whether that’s online or if anyone lives in my neck of the woods it would be nice to have people to meet up with.

  • Hi and welcome 

    I'm new here too and newly diagnosed.

    That's got to be tough having to have year off work because of burnout. I hope this is improving for you now.

    I find exercise helps when I get overwhelmed with life and I get overwhelmed a lot, so I try to run/walk on the days when I don't work.

    I've also found that sketching helps calm my racing thoughts too.

    Hope you settle in here and find some solace.
