Antarctic Ant Report post Posted September 29, 2015 Hello, I have recently joined, I do not currently have many friends (because of a social let down), and I am hoping to find some new people to talk to on the forum. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Abagley Report post Posted December 22, 2015 Hi I recently got diagnosed with Aspergers at 42. I find it difficult making friends. I have to love and accept myself. Because if you don't will attract wrong friends. Every one is unique and gifts and skills. We have believe in ourselves. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mihaela Report post Posted December 25, 2015 Attracting the wrong friends is a danger to people like us. I never seem to learn, I trust people too much, and they let me down. I have no trouble with other Aspies though. I feel much safer with them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abagley Report post Posted December 27, 2015 Thanks Michala sorry if spelt your name wrong. The best place to meet friends is doing something you enjoy doing. Mine is doing sewing. I would love to meet you. I live in Birmingham. Thanks for your helpful comments. I am hoping to go to project Aspie in Birmingham. Take care Anna Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mihaela Report post Posted December 29, 2015 Hello Anna! You can spell my name any way you like I agree - having a shared interest is a good way to find friends. I'd like to meet you too, but we live a long way apart and I've no car either. Project Aspie sounds interesting. If you go, let us know what you think of it.

trekster Report post Posted January 3, 2016 Welcome antarctic ant there is asperger united free newspaper produced from the national autistic society. They have a penpals section. Also the local autism society could have a support group or social group. Another option is to contact the council to see if they run autism groups for adults.
