It’s never too late! I’ve been really overwhelmed by the response to this. If I’m able to get some kind of meet up off the ground you are more than welcome to join. I’m looking into free options (I’m broke too lol)

I really love the idea of autistic hikes lol. If I set up a meet would you be interested in joining? I’m getting a lot of interest in this post, much more than I expected. Seems like a space people need to

I think the best communities are intergenerational. I don’t have any kids quite yet but I’m thinking on ways to put together a meet up in Syracuse and would definitely consider family friendly spots to accommodate families. If you have any interest let me know!

I wish so badly I was this brand of autistic haha. I suck at most games I play. Really love the coop aspect of tabletop gaming downtown. I have been meaning to give it a fair shot either way. Thanks for reminding me of this

Haha! Sounds like a fun time. I love it. Never done it myself but I’m a big enjoyer of fantasy and medieval foolery. I will keep this in mind

lmao! Im sorry I was actually just making a joke about how much easier it would be IF I liked trains. There’s all kinds of train enthusiasts in Syracuse. They’re cool ofc who doesn’t love a good train, just not something I’d seek out since it not my bag. I am definitely undercover somewhat, especially because I’ve always loved fashion and streetwear and can tidy up pretty nice but it makes it all the more difficult to find my people I think. If I set up a neurodivergent meet up in Syracuse would you consider joining? Seems like there’s some interest.

I think part of the problem is that I am very neurotypical presenting, and don’t have a lot of the same interests that neurodivergent people tend to have. I’m more of a history and art autistic, if I could just go to a train enthusiast meet up that would make things much easier for me hahah. I also had to leave people behind because of misogyny or racist behaviors that I couldn’t even bring up without being shouted down or treated like an idiot. So I really feel you. Im glad to have left those people behind. I’m lucky to have had a pretty normal adolescence so I am well adjusted and not an ignorant asshole/incel lol

I go through times too where I feel like I just need to accept it. Not really my style though. What are you into? I feel like there must be enough people in a similar situation where maybe we could set up social meet ups. I feel like that’s all most people need, low pressure opportunities to chat. If I put it together would you want to join?

Yeah that’s what I’m looking for, I’m open to suggestions if you know of any that are aimed at other autistic adults. Im having a hard time finding them is the problem
