I have several best friends, none of them are Neuraltypical.

in contrast to all my lovers that I am currently seeing, whom are all Neuraltypicals.

Nope. I have college 'friends', people who I only speak to at college but that's it. I have no online friends, I'm pretty much invisible online, like no one ever really notices me. Same in real life. Everybody says I'm funny and all that jazz but nobody is actually ever friends with me.

Hmm you know in a way that's kinda cool. Cos nobody really knows u.


I wish I had that kind of anonymity sometimes. I recognize you Tetris, you've changed your avatar though, used to be the giraffe. Did anything ever come of the activism project that you were working on?


I did, felt like a change.

I've been quite busy so not done anything, apart from collected the answers to the little survey, I might redo it next year to get more people.

That's the thread link for the results of it.
Unlikely I'll get round to anymore until February March time.

How important has friendship been to you? My son is 14 and has a diagnosis of autism - has never had a "friend" really. Just because it's been important in my NT life maybe it's not as important to him? He doesn't seem unhappy or lonely. Is it better for me to leave him alone and leave this alone as well?
Thank you for your advice.

You could talk to him, and ask him if he is lonely and if he would like friends. But he may not tell the truth, as he may not want to talk about something so personal. You could look for autism social groups in your town, and ask if he would like to go to one, or encourage him to post on here. But if he really seems to resist the idea, don't push it.
