A question for my autistic friends. Many autistic people struggle with social interactions and forming relationships, which is why they often feel lonely and isolated. I’d be interested to know how you usually go about making new connections, whether they’re friendships or romantic relationships.
I’d appreciate it if you could boost this so we can get more responses. 🙏🏻

My best friendships all came from the same source: the local Star Trek club (which was a long time ago now). That's not to say that this specifically will work for others, but being able to share common interests is a big plus for us. And in my case it had the added benefit of meeting people with similar values as well. I'm sure that this combination resulted in a high proportion of the members being ND of some variety, which also helps.
Beyond that, yeah, it hard as hell. Even with my little friend group it's hard to do things with them any more due to various circumstances and I'd really like to find a few more such friends.
