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. 🙏🏻

Slowly. Masked. I don't initiate contact but instead let random collisions do their work.

If they're NT, I handle them like potential abusers until they show they can be trusted. If they are able and willing to do so: most don't even understand what is at stake for me.
