I had asked the TECH. resource 'Chat GPT' the following:
How can the arts - painting, drawing, sculpture can help adults with High-Functioning Autism "break the ice" in developing friendships?
ANSWER: Five summarized points to original (lengthy) post of Chat-GPT's advice on friendships via shared activities:
-Engaging in various art forms like painting, drawing, and sculpture can be beneficial for adults with High-Functioning Autism (HFA) in developing friendships and "breaking the ice."
-Shared interests: Participating in art-related activities can attract like-minded individuals who share an interest in creativity and aesthetics.
-Discussing artistic techniques, inspirations, or favorite artists can open up dialogue and lead to deeper connections with others.
-Icebreaker during conversations: Art can become a natural topic of conversation, even for those who might find small talk challenging.
Thank-you for your feedback:How might 'Chat Gpt's' content augment human perpecives here on the 'Autism Forums?'
Oh, maybe you are looking to join meetings of in-person groups. I have absolutely zero xp with that unfortunately as far as the autistic community goes, but in America there should be much more meetings typically.What criteria (for lack of a better word) is considered for potential friendships in arts programs?
I feel people who've had experiences with High Fuctioning Autism (NT like) would be favorable for friendships.
Any perspectives?
