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 city and you’re not strapped for cash, mini painting can be a good option. You can walk over to the nearest Warhammer store and they’ll set you up with a mini, some paint, and even give you an intro.

    If there’s no Warhammer store but there’s a scale modeling or wargaming shop, they usually have great communities and supplies too.

    The reason I recommend this is that a lot of us wargamers or mini painters are weird people. Nerds, introverts, ppl with aspergers or autism, you name it. The store staff is usually used to it and can handle weird. The hobby is infinite. It can go as deep as you want.
