What is it like for you making friends

I was officially diagnosed with level 2 autism about three days ago. when they called to talk about the results they gave my parents ideas about going out and different groups to make friends. However I have trouble making friends and keeping them I only have one friend at the moment and that’s all I feel I can manage. I feel if I had more it would just cause me stress and physically and mentally wear me out as that has happened in the past. I feel like if I had more than one friend it would cause a lot of drama and problems that I couldn’t handle. How do you all manage to make friends and handle more than one friend without getting tired and mentally and physically worn out.

  • What is the difference between friends and aqquatances. I also struggle to trust people how do I know there not just pretending to be my friend and turn on me later. How do I spot signs of them talking advantage of my personality. What if they make me feel like a bad friend if I can’t sort their problems out like a therapist which has happened in the past and it completely drained me.
