Looking for Connection – from Someone Who Understands

Post Reply New Topic

Hello,

I’m a 63-year-old autistic man living a very isolated life in the North East of England. I’ve spent most of my life in silence — caring for others, but never really having anyone close to me. I live with autism, depression, and long-term health problems.

I’ve never had a lasting emotional connection, and it’s something I still quietly long for — even now.

I’m not expecting anything grand. I’d just really value chatting with someone who understands what it’s like to be neurodivergent, alone, and older in a world that moves too fast.

If this resonates with you, I’d love to hear from you — even just to exchange a few kind words.

Thank you for reading.

Hi John and welcome to WP. My experience is similar to yours. No friends, living from day to day with no sense of direction.
