Like many other autistic and/or disabled people I will spend Christmas on my own and while I appreciate my alone time and the atmosphere and the silence of it, I know it can be difficult and hurtful.

So I would like to connect with other people who spend Christmas on their own or experience feelings of loneliness during these days, by interacting with this post.

That can be just leaving and receiving a virtual hug or telling each other about the gifts you received or gave yourself during the year, maybe share a piece of music, write about your favourite video game or any other special interest. You can do this in private mode (English or German), I know that interacting with groups can be difficult, impossible sometimes, but every now and then I write posts like this during a moment of bravery and I already found amazing online friends by doing so.

Let's support each other in a world that makes building connection so difficult and feelings of loneliness so common.

Boosts are very much appreciated. Thank you.

@KaCi I won't be alone this Christmas, but because of my neurodivergence, I will seek solitude when it all becomes too much for me. And I will have to rest afterwards—which won't be easy, because someone has to be at work so that others can have time off. Hopefully it will be peaceful.

It's important that we take care of our needs as neurodivergent people. I hope you will find some time to recharge.
@KaCi I'm learning it 🙂
