Im autistic, how do i make frends?

Question

I want frends but I dont have any

Answer 1

There were autistic people in my school that had friends--so don't ever think that being a little different will hold you back. If you weren't different, then you wouldn't be unique, but instead be like everyone else.

First of all, think of the things you enjoy doing. If you like sports, attend games and start conversations with people who are also fans. Anything else you're into, just network with others that are also into the same thing. Music and nature are my favorites so I tend to talk to a lot of people who listen to the same music as I do or that enjoy waterfalls and hiking. :)

It's the same with all people, autistic or not, we make friends by finding people with similar interests. Best wishes!

Hi I'm Nicole...I'll be your friend. :P

People always come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you figure our which it is, you know exactly what to do.

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed outwardly or inwardly. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, or to provide you with guiadance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or even spiritually. They seem like a godsend, and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrong doing on your part or at an incovenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up or out and force you to take a stand.What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you send up has been answered and it is now time to move on.

When people some into your life for a SEASON, it is because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They may bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it. It is real. And like spring turns to summer and summer to fall, the seaon eventually ends.

LIFETIME relationships teach you a lifetime of lessons. Those things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. You job is to accent the lesson, love the people anyway, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.

It is said that love is blind, but friendship is clairvoyant.

I hate the feel of wet grass, and getting my hands really yucky with dough or something else that sticks to me? Makes me want to puke. I am not autistic, just funny like that. We did the wah- wah with our daughter too, it would make her laugh and forget why in the world she was freaking out in the first place- She is 16 months and still makes the funny noises with no real meaning if you put her in the carseat and she gets bored. Entertaining herself I guess, and it is much better than whining and screaming while we are trying to go somewhere. I think that she may be experimenting with the noise because she finds it entertaining- as long as she is meeting other milestones, especially the ones that have to do with how she engages with people, I think that you have nothing to worry about. If the whole thing bothers you, talk to the pediatrician and don't give up if you think that there is actually a problem. They can give you more information. As far as first mom worries? In my experience, when I think that I am just being an overanxious mother, I usually am. When I think that I am right, that something to do with her is not okay- I am usually on top of it- so what I am saying is, trust your gut instinct.

Answer 4

You need to watch how other kids make friends, how they start social contact. It's hard for autistic people sometimes because they don't always pick up on social signals naturally. But you can learn by watching other people. When you see someone you want to be friends with, just smile in a friendly way, walk over to them and start a conversation about what they're doing, etc... People like when you show an interest in them. Just be friendly. Good luck to you.

Answer 5

How old are you? I am a special education high school teacher and I have often seen even students without processing challenges have difficulty making friends.What do you like to do? Often friends can be found by finding people with common interests. I have learned many autistic people think in pictures, not words. Do you like art, graphic design, movies, fashion, photography--anything in the visual areas? Find people with similar interests. If you live with family members ask them for help. Find people you already know and ask them for help.
JUST DON'T GIVE UP
Just because it is challenging is no reason to stop trying--I know you can do it.
Be well

Answer 6

might sound retarded ,
but be urself
rite now, your probabbly in a place or time that doesnt accept you
go places, meet new people
you cant stay in one place and expect to find new things

also, dont change your personality at all for the benefit of others---
this way, youll just be making fake friends

one day, your going to meet that special friend who might or might not be on the same page as you, but will accept you and like you for who you are

i no this is the advice you usuallly hear in childrens tv shows, but its true

oh, n heres a quote by davey havok on this subject
i actually find it quite helpful to refer to when i feel lonely :

"As you get older you will gain a bit more control over everything. Don't let anyone, even your parents, break you. Find good people who care about you and surround yourself with just them. If you can't find them at first, find good music and fall into it, let it hold you until they come"

Answer 7

Dillon...you make friends the same way anybody else does. You are not disabled or handicapped or something. Lose that idea right now.
You talk about yourself, talk to your friends about them.....find common interests like sport or music or pets or telly.....

You are fascinating but maybe a bit unpredictable. Warn your friends you may do something unexpected and may offend them........but there's nowt wrong with you kid.

I know a 6 year old 'autistic' lad who is the best company I've had in years. I'm 52. Think about that my young friend. xxx

Answer 8

Maybe do people's portaits. People can say I have an autist friend and they did my portrait.

But be careful there are a lot of starving autists out there, so the competition may be brutal.

But, I am sure if you are just yourself, there may be other autists out there that will hang out with you. I have zero autistic ability, so I already envy you. I can barely draw a recognizable stick figure.




Seriously, just be yourself, and eventually someone will be friends with you. If you are friendly it will show and they will see you for who you are, not WHAT you are. : )

Answer 9

join a support group for autism or a social skills building group get in touch with your local Y if they dont have a program there they should be able to tell you where to find one. in the meen time join myspace there are plently of autism support groups to discuss problems and make freinds in.

I know its hard making friends. I know how it feels i have aspergers. But remember dont give up hope if one person doesnt want to be a friend there are plenty more people out there. if u want we can be friends my e-mail adress is [e-mail] just when you first e-mail me tell me who are in the subject. Good luck
