I need help with making a friend.

Post Reply New Topic

Well, there's this boy in the grade above me that I really want to be friends with. I've never seen him before, but I know:

1. I know his name.
2. I know he was just diagnosed with Asperger's.
3. He's shy and doesn't have so many friends.
4. He likes Japanese culture. (I also like Japanese culture.)
5. He knows that there is a person in the grade below him that has Asperger's.(Said person is me.)

Any possible advice or tips on how to make friends?

Well if you're really serious about it, one of you is going to have to make the dreaded approach. I know many Aspies including myself make most if not all of their friends by people approaching us, not the other way around like NTs can easily do. One of you is going to have to do it, it may as well be you.

But look at it this way. He's an Aspie too. He might be thinking the same thing. He might also want to make a friend. It's not like you will embarress yourself, I mean, he is an Aspie, he should understand. Good luck!

Thanks a lot. That makes sense.
