Good evening,

I would love to make friends with people who have the same morals, goals and characteristics as me.
I am quite shy, tend to be quite anxious but I love walking and hiking, meditation, crafts that relax me such as diamond art and photography.
I am not someone who likes loud parties, or busy manic places. I'd pick a breakfast date over a dinner date.
I'd pick a deep conversation chat over a takeaway than a loud shouting one in a night club.

Ive tried the online groups but in all honesty there's lots of creepy people.

Hi. Similar here. Lonely but I don’t want to be

@wtfismymotto is there an age range you'd prefer and a vague area that you'd be most comfortable travelling to?

It could help concentrate your options.

Good luck ❀

Hi, I am similar in personality to you and I've had some success with the Bumble For Friends app. You can swipe left on anyone you're not sure about from their profile, and have in-app chats with the ones you've swiped right on before deciding whether to meet. Haven't met a single creepy person and have met a couple of very thoughtful, nice women who I have quite a lot in common with.

I’m similar (minus the hobbies as I’ve no time). No ND diagnosis though… not sure if that’s essential? I’m just on this board as I’m considering asking for referral.

Came here to ask pretty much the same question. I want to connect with other autistic people (preferably older late diagnosed people) for chat, shared interests, friendship, but don't know where to find them.
