The perspectives of friendships for adults over 29 years of age need that boost here on WP.

The dynamics of friendships become even more challenging (with the Autism Spectrum as a factor), as people age beyond the young-adult years to 30 years of age and older.

I've made more friends in later life than I did before my 30's.
Almost all of these friends I've met from joining groups or through work.

Might it be best to meet people in recreational activities - such as arts-related activities as one example?

My WP image is a drawing of greeting a person in an arts program.

Is there a strong interest in the 'Social Skills and Making Friends Forum' for a 'STICKY' on 'Friendships - Age 30-plus?

As people concerned with the Autism Spectrum age through their thirties, and beyond, might adults become more receptive to reassesing the challeges of social-skills and friendships?

See 'Social Skills and Making Friends Forum' discusison-thread, 'Doubts, Bad-Experiences, Etc. Yet.....(RE-EDIT)' for additional, and even helpful details.
