Hi there
I'd like to ask about strategies for a young person with ASD regarding making friends. This youngster has made it to college but has not (in 19 years) ever been able to make friends. Perpetually lonely. Not sure how much detail to go into here - I'd say hyper anxious, looks 'disconnected' in social situations, doesn't enjoy stimulating environments (parties, crowds), looks and behaves young for years. But highly amusing, tries incredibly hard at everything, is caring. Aware of own perceived 'shortcomings'.
Has anyone managed to overcome or help someone to overcome this situation?
Does anything help?
Thanks for reading.
