   As an autistic, ADHD or otherwise neurodivergent person... what factors in your environment are most conducive to being able to make friends with other humans?

     @KatyElphinstone a visible clock or some sort of way to easily and discreetly tell how much time has passed

     @KatyElphinstone oh my gosh, yeah I have no idea how long these social situations are supposed to take. Like, having people over is one thing because you're slightly more in control, but going over to someone's place is always nerve wracking for me ?

     @pengupooh the other day I had my mum and stepdad over for my son's birthday cake. Daughter and I made a beautiful cake. Coffee ready to roll for when they walked in.

     Coffee and cake lasts 1-hour right?? I was looking at the clock thinking in my mind why have they not left (I had let the kids disappear upstairs after just 15m).

     When I told sis that she laughed out loud and said 'you are so autistic' ..and proceeded to stay 2 hours for coffee!

     @pengupooh I think I completely made up the hour thing. It was probably wishful thinking.
