Hello everybody,
I've been on WP for 1 year and I haven't managed to make an autistic/aspie friend... only other NT parents.
I'm an italian NT mum of an autistic boy who is 4.
I'm fascinated about your different view of the world, but it's not easy to become friend of an aspie/autie. I know that it can cause stress and anxiety to be "forced" to have a small talk an so on.
How can I manage to make friend among WP people?

Same goes for me :D

And regarding your question. No, I have made a few acquaintances, but no friends.

Hello Claudia,

I`m an autie (diagnosed McDD), i`m willing to answer all your questions :) I dont think there is one simple thing you need to know about Auties/Aspies so you can befriend them. I think that since you`re already a 1 year member of WP you know a lot.

So, feel free to ask me ANYTHING.
