New and probably won't make any friends

Post Reply New Topic

Hi. I'm pretty new here tho I was dx a couple of years ago. It took me all this time to stop by and chat. I've been reading the discussions but not participating much. its a little overwhelming not knowing which forum to discuss what. there seems to be a lot of overlap in topics and its a little confusing not knowing what to discuss where. any suggestions would be appreciated.

Welcome,

For me I've no idea how to make friends in the first place hehe.

I don't know how to make friends. I don't know how to keep people around. I don't understand the dynamics.

I'm grateful for those who do stick around, and once I'm comfortable with them (it takes years), I really, really enjoy them.

But I need a lot of alone time, too, and most people don't understand that.

Repeating what nannarob said: welcome here, and feel free to drop by the Dino-Aspie Ex-Café. Link to current page:

Occasional random silliness with no harm intended.

Sufi,

I have made one friend online through a forum. We are now separated by state lines, but email and SMS each other often.

To be honest, I think AS people find it difficult to make friends in any environment, but when they are able to, the friendships can be good ones. I have a small number of friends, but they are very good friends. Funnily enough, most (maybe all?) of them have special needs children, and I was the one with the "normal" child until the dx of AS two months ago.

Birds of a feather...?
