  • Parties and social situations can be nerve-wracking for any young adult, but imagine experiencing this type of anxiety if you had autism. A recent study reveals that a social skills program for young adults with autism spectrum disorder is the first to show significant improvement in participants’ ability to overcome their social fears.

    Glad to know there are some people who actually understand that adults can also have autism 😂

    The issue I have is that my emotions are so, horribly drained now that getting help would do nothing because I just don't care anymore...

    My nephew just graduated high school, he too is on the spectrum of Autism. I am trying to help him with the transition from high school to college. I wonder if there is a program like this, in the East los Angeles area? If anyone knows about a program like this for new college students please let me know, it will be very much appreciated.

    It may not be the same but it would really be great if this course could be taught online for those of us that live 1000 miles away from UCLA.

      Face to face is more beneficial since most social interactions actions are.

    Here is a discord server. discord.gg/VFFU6h
    This is a server for everyone that likes to be in their room, is bad at socializing, or has mental illness. Many of us at this time are Maladaptive Daydreamers (people that involuntarily daydreaming for long period of time) and we want it to include other people that could benefit from talking about our issues, how our individual lives are affected, giving advice, and bonding.

    I ain't stupid to know that when a person is threatening me or vandalizing or stealing that is not a friend.

    When you're trying to be social but instead you get a fine by police for violating COVID-19 measures.

    “Decrease in autism symptoms”??? That’s like saying a blind person going on some course made them less blind. 🤔

    Like going to a class will help you make friends. We're autistic that's why people don't like us.
