I'm a 26 year old man with aspergers, and lately I've started feeling a bit lonely. Anyone have advice on where and how I can meet people, preferably other with aspergers? All the "friends" I currently have I know through family members. If I didn't have my brothers and sisters I would probably have no kind of social circle.
I sent a message to my country's autism association a few days ago asking if they have any kind of meet ups, however, I have no received an answer from them as of yet
I have taken step to try and meet people and make friends, I'm active in a few sports clubs but I don't really have any kind of connection with the people there. I don't know why but I just can't seem to make friends or connections with anyone despite trying my hardest to fit in. It's weird because I see all the other get along just fine but nobody seems to show too much interest in me. I have profiles on a few penpal websites too but my luck there hasn't been good. I met a girl there but she lives in another country and I only talk to her every other day or so, I think I'd like to meet her in person but I don't really see that happening any time soon. I've also tried a lot of online dating in the past but with some luck but all the women I talked to either lived to far away or just didn't show any more interest after a few messages.
My options in real life dating is also limited as I don't live in a city, I live on the outskirts of a really small city and the closest big city is about 2 hours away.
