| I don't think he understands the concept of relationships, he sees a girlfriend as someone he can sort of have there when he's not focusing on his special interests. Has he ever sought a girlfriend who SHARES one or more of his special interests? If not, I would suggest that you advise him to do th... |

| How are you supposed to get out there if you are somebody who has few friends, doesn't go to bars, clubs, pubs etc, won't return to volunteering and won't go to social club involving doing activities and stuff they are not really interested in ? Have you looked on Meetup.com for groups that do thin... |

No, there are subcultures/enclaves where life isn't nearly as much of a pissing contest as it may be elsewhere. |

| No, we had been planning to make money from farming, and craft things like candles, we did make some sales, but not anywhere close to break even and we haven't really sold anything in a couple years. One of the many reasons why we need a better-organized autistic community (in the sense of subcultu... |

| I think this evening what I realized is that I'm still pulling glass out from what my life was from 2015 thru really last year, and I might be pulling glass out for the next couple years at least to properly reestablish a healthy identity. So on that front I feel like it would be better for me to g... |

| There used to be a tarot group that got together maybe 45 minutes away at a coffee shop. Even if my interest in that in particular ebbs sometimes I'd still much rather get together with these people again and talk about things that are actually interesting to me (and yes - people who fail at the na... |

| That’s a big sign of cheating. Friends don’t normally text this way: good morning/night every day, and walls of texts. Only lovers do that. Don’t be naive.
