    Have a good day. I don’t think I can achieve anything here over text.

    Therapy and psychology is valid. There are plenty of providers that operate with a sliding scale and if you income is what I assume you will be free/low cost case.

    You don’t need to “cure” your autism. You just need to identify the parts of you that are more abrasive and manage them.

    I hope you find what you are looking for, or at the least find someone to help you work on yourself.

      And you didn’t answer my question : who do I talk to and what do I say to them? Every time. You people are so predictable.

        Literally anyone you see regularly see. Make light eye contact and smile. After a couple times seeing the same person just try something simple:

        " I see you here often. Do you know ______?"

        A: Yes/ “Ya they have been coming here since _____. I started back in ________.”

        B: No/ “Oh, well I’m ________ it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

        You are planting seeds of discourse. It makes you more approachable.

        I have engaged you here in good faith so I’d appreciate the same in return.

          You’re telling me to be annoying or a creep. Talking to someone unsolicited isn’t generally accepted (this is something I learned from some female friends who say they don’t want anyone talking to them at the gym, and from myself because the only people that talk to me in random situations are crazy or asking for money).
