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.

  • Do you think we also give out some kind of vibe that makes us unapproachable or unfriendly? Is it where pwrhaps we are trying too hard to make friends ??

  • I sometimes wonder this too but I don't think it's us. Maybe people see we're different and because of that they don't want to give us a chance? If that's true, that's sad, they are losing out on knowing amazing people.
