If youre in grad school youre likely to find autistic peers that are pursuing smth theyre autistic about. I didnt do grad school but j picked a very autistic major and made many autistic friends by nature of us being rlly into the thing we are studying

I find people who are also different, generally neurodivergent. Make a few friends, ask to hang out with them and tell them to invite whoever they want to join

I learned how to mask really well so most people can’t tell I’m autistic when they meet me 😄

Almost all of my friends are autistic. We find each other through our shared hobbies

This! and texting is so so tiring it gets to a point where I just don’t want to text anymore.

Also sometimes you gotta make your own friend groups, find some people in your same classes/labs/orgs with similar interests and invite them to go do something relevant

it is a very small program :/ i'm acquainted with a few people but they seem way more socially adjusted than me... i cannot pass as non-autistic. but thank you!
