I got told by so many people ‘When you have little kids, that’s when you make the #friendships that last for life’.

Here I am, awake in the middle of the night, still wondering if that’s gonna happen.

I’m autistic, introverted and (probably) adhd. I work with kids and am constantly feeling people’d out. I don’t feel a lack of company, I don’t have the capacity to spend energy trying to make friends, but I do feel a lack of long term adult friendships outside my immediate family.

The other parents I connected with best also had ADHD and that’s made it harder to keep in touch.
