It's time to kick off this MOM FRIEND SERIES with some things to consider when trying to make mom friends during a PANDEMIC (and in general). I also share my personal experiences and viewpoints on mom friends as a psychologist and BUSY mom to two young girls and wife/sister/etc.
With the constant connectivity of today’s world, it’s never been easier to meet people and make new friends—but it’s never been harder to form meaningful friendships.
Many autistic people have trouble making and keeping friends. This has led to the myth that they don’t want friends3. In reality, they long for friendships just like anyone else. But they face unique challenges in forming and maintaining them.
Today I share with you my personal experience as an autistic adult who was once an undiagnosed autistic girl, with friendship, and the challenges of friendship in a world designed for neurotypical people.
I got together with my good friends who are also neurodiverse to talk about the challenges we have experienced with friendship, and what it's like to have friends who also have autism, ADHD, dyspraxia, dyslexia.
Painful memories of childhood along with gendered social norms can make adult friendships more complicated for neurodiverse women.
Most female friendships start in college and during the early years of marriage. Some women are fortunate and develop long-lasting friendships in high school or as far back as childhood. I was not one of those lucky women.
While there can be no doubt about the power of female friendships, lately I have been wondering whether we place too much pressure on them and whether our expectations of one another are realistic.
Whether you have a few besties or a whole goddess crew, your female friendships enhance your life in so many ways you might not even understand. No matter how strong you may be, everybody needs some sisters to lean on.
