Feeling Lonely

Hi everyone, I'm a full time mummy with a disability and ASD. I have two children, a girl who is 6 and a little boy who will be 2 in August. I made some lovely friends when my daughter was little but they all work, but I have struggled to connect with anyone since having my little boy. I go to baby groups alone and hardly speak to anyone in the week. Is there anyone else feeling lonely like me?

Hey 👋 I understand I do too at times

I understand that, I'm autistic too and struggle with everything social. I've been trying to be more social online lately

I have been feeling the exact same I have been having health problems that stopped me going back to work and we go to a lovely group but no one really talks much.

I never went to baby groups with my second because I never felt welcome or like I "fit", I won't to baby groups with my third either. It's tough because you want friendship and support the same as everyone else but when you don't fit the mold you just don't get it

Hey 👋

Amber that's exactly how I feel. I really don't fit the mold. I do mask well but I don't have the ability to read if someone likes me so. I always feel like everyone is staring at me cat baby groups because I know I'm not like everyone else. My son is also really hard work and just wants to escape whenever I take him anywhere.

I feel exactly the same. I’m also autistic so I struggle to make friends. I do take my son to a couple of classes and groups but really struggle to turn the small talk into a friendship. Feel free to message me if you want to chat :)

Joanna being autistic is such a struggle when finding friends isn't it. I never know if I'm saying the right things. Running around after my little boy while I'm trying to chat also makes things difficult. X
