I think it really depends on how you feel about it to be honest, it’s hard to put yourself out there but there are a lot of groups and stuff for out of school socializing.
I’ve been doing online school for the past year just to finish off my GCSEs. I have two friends that I still keep in contact with and see every few weeks. Before that when I was in high school I had a group of 20+ friends that I didn’t really feel comfortable with, being a bit of a loner I feel like I deserved the down time after all that socializing lol.
My mum took me out initially because I got so stressed in school that I got really sick, my cortisol levels dropped dangerously low and I was going back and forth to hospital, constantly fatigued too. My endocrinologist explained that stress was probably the main cause of that. I’m really glad for it though, I feel like my confidence has boosted a lot, my teachers in the online school understand my ASD quirks whereas teachers in my high school despised me for it.
