I feel a little bad for asking for help again…

So I need to do something. I have no idea what though. So these are things to consider for me:

  • I prefer something regular and scheduled. My Autism needs consistency, but my ADHD makes it really hard to establish and maintain.
  • I need to get out of my home. I am withering here
  • some (predictable) social interaction is okay. If it is too much I probably won’t be able to keep up. I’d prefer something with a low upfront social cost (honestly the idea of being introduced to a new group feels overwhelming)
  • I prefer a somewhat sensory friendly environment (for example the music in a gym would be really really stressful)

I would like to know what kinds of things you found in your lives that worked. Thanks!

    If you live in a major city, you might try looking for local writer’s groups. I go to one at a coffee shop near me, same time each week. The person running the cafe gives a prompt and after a couple hours, people can share what they’re working on, but usually no one does. It’s just a quiet space to practice writing with relaxing music in the background. No socialization expected or required. I’m not a fan of caffeine, so I usually get a hibiscus tea and write a poem based on the prompt. Very low key.

      thanks! That sounds really really cool! I’m not native to the language that is spoken here, but if that concept is applied to something I know how to do, that’d be really nice.
