I want to meet other people who can relate to what it’s like to be a young adult on the autism spectrum.”
Life after graduating from college can be a challenge. Especially for individuals navigating their path as independent millennials on the autism spectrum. Starting a new career and taking the next steps in life can feel overwhelming. It’s natural to miss the routine and structure that an academic setting provides. It’s okay to feel anxious about the changes and uncertainties that come with post-college life.
Meet Other Autistic Young Adults Who Can Relate to Your Struggles
Being a young adult on the autism spectrum can present unique challenges. The way you relate to the world may be different from your peers, which can sometimes make you feel isolated. Perhaps you’re facing difficulties in making friends or navigating the world of dating. Conversations and social interactions might be overwhelming, leading to social anxiety. As a result, you may find yourself withdrawing from social situations to avoid the stress of initiating conversations and engaging in small talk.
It’s possible that you’re seeking connections with other individuals your age who have shared interests and understand the struggles you face as an autistic millennial. You’re eager to acquire new skills and tools that can empower you in both professional and social settings, enabling you to succeed and feel confident in your everyday life.
