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. 🙏🏻

All of the IRL friends I have currently I’ve made all thanks to a shared hobby. As in we all met in person, plucked up the courage to see how a joke might land and went from there. Now we hang out at least once a week thanks to the shared hobby, and message each other almost daily.
I did meet my partner online, but that was almost 20 years ago, when times were a bit different.
I do have friends around the world, too, thanks to the Internet and in the past few years Mastodon specifically. I have even met face to face with some of these fedi people I’ve made friends with.
But for more personal and deeper connections, I prefer making friends in person.
