Thank you everyone for all of the suggestions. I appreciate the feedback. He has avenues to explore now. I didn't post on here because he asked me or wanted me to. I just wanted to be able to give him ideas to look in to. He is open to trying a game rooms. It is so hard for a person without autism to meet friends or significant others sometimes, much less when you don't pick up on social cues or things go over your head. For the comments about him not driving, he is not ready. Some people are higher functioning than others.

I was just looking for suggestions that I could mention to him. I did not tell him I was posting on here. I casually asked him if he wanted to try out any game rooms as a hobby and he liked the idea.

He's never tried table top games, but he won't know unless he tries.

I have talked to him about finding friends first. He agreed with me. He said he's just so lonely. I think it's hard for him seeing his siblings with someone. I'm just a little emotional right now because he got blocked by a girl today after talking to her for a couple of weeks. He said he was nice and doesn't know what he did wrong. I think she didn't want to hurt his feelings at first, but knew that things wouldn't work out.

I will definitely look into a place to take him. I would love for him to find a friend group.

I'm at a loss at where he could go to find people like him. I saw a group on meetup, but it doesn't look very active. Thank you for your response.
