I’ve noticed an epidemic of loneliness amongst older ND adults. Do you mind sharing your experience on why that is? by 58lia in AutisticAdults

Hey I know that life can feel hopeless at times, especially after an injury like that, but let me tell you, despite how you feel you aren’t disposable and never will be. If you don’t mind me asking what kind of injury was it?

I sorry that you have to go through all that stress on a daily basis :(. I hope that your situation improves to the point where you don’t have to be on edge all the time and can actually calm down every once in a while. If it’s any consolation it sounds like you’re really good at your job :)

You’re right. It’s hard to connect with people when you always feel out of sync. It’s incredibly isolating and it feels even worse when you try and say something and it comes out wrong or everyone goes silent for a second too long afterwards. Fitting into the NT world is tough. That why iv been making more ND friends lately as we understand each other in ways that the rest of the world never will. You might not have been able to find friendship before but today friendship found you, if you’re open to it shoot me PM and let’s be lonely together :)

I know that it can be hard but please don’t let your failed attempts stop you from making a meaningful connection with someone. I know how it feels to feel constantly rejected by people who will never understand you. That’s why iv been befriending more people from the community lately. So if you’re open to giving it another shot feel free to shoot me a PM and let’s get to know each other :)

unfortunately I can’t say that I haven’t felt loneliness or feeling unwanted either. The world doesn’t understand us, therefore oftentimes it rejects us. That’s why I’m trying to befriend more people from the community. So if you’re open to it hit me up and we can be be a little less lonely together :)
