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 it like for me making friends? One word - difficult. I completely understand about drama and problems, and getting worn out.

    I'm retired now and I no longer feel I need to have friends to fit in. I don't see any family members either - just more drama and problems. I have my partner who is my best friend - that's enough for me.
