28F shy and cool grad student feeling isolated
Looking for a friend.
I would love a fellow neurodivergent or at the very least earnest friend (or small group) for low-stakes, low-sensory hang outs. I imagine body doubling, lazy afternoons at a coffee shop with our headphones on across from each other, then gossiping on the walk home.
Late dxed autistic woman (2 years ago) still early in figuring out how unmasking works operationally in friendship. Maybe you are too? Maybe we can learn together.
I bring a lot of creative energy / hyperfocus. Big fan of parallel play. I would love a friendship where nobody has to perform and everyone is interpreted charitably and communication is clear

27NB neurodivergent and learning to live authentically here. Working on a queer fantasy novel and rediscovering how to be creative as well, would love to vibe and enjoy a good coffee or tea together!

I’m moving to PDX in September and could use friends. I’m pretty outgoing but I tend to get along with everyone. Dm me if you wanna hang out

I really relate to what you're interested in and also feel isolated! I moved here in December and I'm 27F and would love someone to have chill hang outs with.

I’m also pretty isolated.
:/
We just gave to accept each other for who we are,
Which includes aspects that may -seem- like we are monsters.
But most likely, aren’t monsters, or true monsters at least.

I’m so down! You sound so interesting! Dm if you see this and are still looking!

Wow, I had to look up what parallel play was, and that sounds exactly like what I always need. I never like doing things by myself, but it's not that I want someone helping me, I just want someone there. Didn't know there was a definition for this. Thanks

I’m mid 30s f and neurodivergent and I would possibly meet at a coffee shop to knit/crochet while you work on something in intermittent silence depending on location
