sameerthere is this person in my classes who I have been trying to befriend since August but IDK how to go from saying hello in class to actually being friends… does anyone know what the Rules are for this 🧍. I think I am having an #autism moment rn with this (would giving them my “cool and sexy” minizine with my phone number on it be weird???? how do I do that???)
update on this!! they actually emailed me to get my number and stuff 😳 I played the long game so long that I didn’t even have to do any of the work

@headbanged Hello fellow autistic person here I've noticed at least one method of making friends that's inconvenient but works.
If you can have a recurring activity that you both take part in, so you're both there and interacting socially while doing it, over time (like a few months), you can become friends from that.
idk if this works for your specific situation but I thought I'd share anyway, anyhow good luck!
@epiceneVivant That’s good advice thank you!!
I think I am going to try to invite them birdwatching with me because they also said they liked birds 🙂
Mike Breedlove@headbanged awwww yay! I'm glad it worked in the end!
