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. 🙏🏻

@autismunicorn @autistics honestly? Pretty much all of my connections are superficial, or work-related. The exceptions are:
1. My wife - she basically did all the running as I was utterly oblivious to the fact she was interested.
2. My children - that’s just a different relationship all round.
3. One old school friend who for some reason has just always “got” me.
@hedders @autismunicorn @autistics
take away the kids (who have disowned me) and the hs buddy (who gave up on me after decades of neglect) and this is me to a tee.
