Family n social skills

From first day I had baby, my Mom was invited over and I would watch her play and sometimes less noticeable, sometimes I was pretending to be out room and peeking from door to see what to do.

My family just doesn't seem to get it, I send kids over for conversation skills and social. I'm not lazy, or partying or taking it easy. I'm unable to do some of these things and so I eventually ended up paying for pizza, paying for petrol.
I don't have many friends and last friend attempt lured me into her relationship argument very soon after meeting. I got hung up because no, I don't want him to take it out on me afterwards by saying a different reason, or just too intense. She sulked and cut me off. So I keep borrowing same family and having barbeque etc.

Should I just look up this as an example on Quora or something and WhatsApp to family with apology for borrowing them all the time.
 
They will never get it unless they take the time to learn about ASD. Most wouldn’t unless it’s affecting their life. Since some of us don’t look disabled, I called people like me the forgotten. The disregarded.
I understand you, I see you, I know how you feel. I’m sorry for the hurt you are experiencing. I’m here if you need to vent. People on the forum are kind and helpful support!
I see that you are trying the best you can, which is terrific.

Thankyou kindness, I do need to vent because the pressure of being responsible for children is immense.

My father has conditions attached to his love, adhering to his belief in way forward and working for his friends.
Being alone I find giving a stranger a contract doesn't tend to create a network for me, so I've learnt how some NT structures do work.

.He denies these friends don't allocate or reciprocate and so I'm really at my wit's end as none of my attempts to form meaningful connections work, then he laughs and says I'm a women in a man's world.

Another issue I had was my ideals that were not supported by most, does this mean I must become the same as my neighbours, does avoiding personal isolation and financial warrant me turning to behave in a way I've never considered. It seemed the only way for me to make progress in life.

To give example the one day i was watching people at table, this outgoing lady was in real estate, a social butterfly and social and work was mingled and her daughter was part of this social group in a way I could never be. I do the cake sales and PTA stuff at school for fundraisers but I'm not part of some click, it's hard to explain but it's when you don't engage.
