If there's something you enjoy doing that can be done with others, find a group or club local to you that does whatever it is. Do it for the fun if the activity and you should find some friends.

I would suggest that you try to find some autistic friends with compatible traits and with interests similar to yours.

You can start by including your general locale (e.g. what country you live in, and your nearest major metro area) in your profile here on Wrong Planet. Then others here might be able to help you find good local resources.

Have you any talents, skills or interests that other people also enjoy?

Have you had friends before and perhaps you’re just in a funk?
