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 Well, I’m getting adopted. Or I’m meeting other neurodivergent people. It’s best if I’m adopted by neurodivergent people. Most of the time, they’re people with ADHD. For some reason, that works out perfectly. So as a young person with undiagnosed ADHD and autism, I actually had something resembling a social life, even though I was always the very strange guy who somehow fit in, but whom people didn’t really know what to do with. By the way, it always took years or even decades before it became clear that my friends were neurodivergent themselves.
