I used to have a best friend for years until he died. We talked about everything and spoke to each other multiple times a day for hours. Now I don't have that friend and there's a big hole in my life. Want genuine friends, but where I live is kind of isolated and hard to get to. I do talk to his wife, but I don't think she's going to fill that hole alone.

Would love a group whose primary focus is socialization and optional support of each other. Forums are great, but there's no way to talk to someone for hours at a time. We come and go, and when the forum dies at its usual time when everyone is at work, etc. then I will get bored again.

Living at home, isolated, no driver's license, and bored/craving social interaction.

Anyone got any suggestions?

I'm sorry to hear that your friend died. Having someone you can talk with for long periods of time sounds like a dream to me personally. I can only hope that maybe someday by putting yourself out there, you find a new friend that's somewhat like him.

Yeah I hope you can find something to fill that gap as well

My sympathies on losing your friend and your current predicament,
My best friend I met through work and I can talk to for hours. He is clearly aspie AF too and we have some special interest overlap. We have some political and attitudinal differences I'm prepared to forgive but since I lost the job I find he exhibits the same annoying and isolating habit all my friends and peers seem to have.
Always happy to hear from me, but rarely remembers I exist unless/until I instigate contact.

Silence will fall.

Any online groups that people are aware of? Trivia is one of my favorite games to play, even if I often get the questions wrong

Yep...you have the correct answers...they just get the questions wrong
