Hi. I'm on the spectrum of autism and I find it hard to connect with people. I aim is to develop new friendships. I'm 23, work at the OU, love playing guitar and you can see me play on Instagram (miquaii)

    Hi @Miquaii. Welcome to Scope’s forum. It is great to see you have joined us. How are you at the moment?

    Thanks for already finding the courage to reach out to us. I appreciate how much courage it can take to reach out, especially when you are finding things difficult and new.

    As a fellow autistic, I mainly want to greet you. Hopefully, you can connect with us. There are lots of autistic people here but also many other friendly people.

    Are there any specific difficulties you have in connecting with people? I am just wondering how we can best support you.

    Thanks for sharing a little about yourself with us. It is always a privilege to get to know a little about our community members – such as your interests  :)
