How do I meet people and make connections as an autist who has trouble speaking?
Whats the first step?

>>
>>107506734
you dont.
and thus everything is, as should be
autists die childless and alone
and normal people dont have to interact with them
>>
>>107506761
This, but if you're just a fucking weirdo then go be a furry or go to pokemon conventions and become a 3rd boyfriend to a poly fat chick
>>
>>107506746
it would be better if he didnt.
but oh, well
someone has to sacrifice for the greater good
>>
>>107506734
Just use text and play games. You don't have to speak too much online.
>>
>>107506734
get drunk and go on raves. as i found out a lot of fucking autists everywhere

Don't be autistic it's that easy.

You join hobby groups and find like-minded autists there.

>>107506820
honestly- you dont wanna talk too much with other people in college
some, prolly a slim minority are gonna wanna take advantage of you,
and the rest are zoomershits, unworthy of your attention

but if you insist, asking for someone's notes, and co-studying is a good, socially acceptable way to test the waters, with an easy way out

all in all:
if you wanna meet people, talking to them in the context of something practical is a good ice-breaker
and if you dont like them, theyre not gonna get upset if you dont spend more time with em
also also it gives you something to do
so you wont have too much of the uncomfortable silence moments

that advice also works outside of college.
asking someone for a lighter or offering someone to carry their groceries is a socially acceptable way to interact, and by the occasion to exchange a few words to see if the person is interesting to you
with an easy way out if you dont like em.

Go to Church.

>>107506820
>>107506878 cont
oooor this >>107506871
this is an excellent advice
you will filter out everyone who doesnt have anything interesting to say, or hear from you

teaching other people stuff also counts as prectical thing to do and if youre decent at that, people are gonna appreciate you for your skills, if not anything else
>>
>>107506820
Literally go to the study groups. It's that simple. Ask your labs partners to go hang out. Ask your coworker at your job to hang out.

But start with being attractive and positive.
>>
>>107506933
>But start with being attractive and positive.
thats the biggest hurdle for autists
but spending time with a person around a practical activity would at least habituate them to the autists' demeanor, quirks
>>
>>107506734
Drive a cool classic car, other autists will come and speak to you.

if you have tech presentations from companies, you approach the presenters once theyre done presenting
and you talk to them about what was presented
there too, the advice of talking about something practical applies

if you dont,
a net of acquaintances is a good thing even if it wont yield immediate employement.
that works by the means of tit-for-tat
be useful to people at some point, and maybe they will make themselves useful to you in return, in the future
its not a guarantee though. but it is a numbers game, so cast your net wide

What if I don't have projects and I'm not as good as I think I am? What then?
>>
>>107507046
then you become good and write projects bc conversely who would want to employ a useless eater?
>>
>>107506990
>if actual unironic autist
Play the DEI card since it counts as a disability and tech companies fucking love that combined with the well known autistic hyperfocus
>if just a social retard
Flip burgers while wiping tears on your degree

You go there to meet people and have dinner/drinks with them. No one gives a shit about the 92347928374927497th implementation of bubblesort or fizzbuz in a repo you haven't touched since 2018.

I'm half Puerto Rican half Irish. What can I get?
>>
>>107507151
no serious recruiter will give you any attention if you dont have a portfolio
unless youre doing a turbocodemonkey's job
but then you wont get employement bc a jeet could do it just as well, only cheaper
>>
>>107507151
>it doesn't matter about the code or the projects
So why would I go there when I could be trying to practice leetcode?
>>
>>107507174
if you'd work for me id pay your bonuses in potatoes and fake green cards
>>
>>107506734
Unironically why would you want to?
>>
>>107507240
Because I want to secure a job or internship as fast as I can while I'm in college.
>>
>>107507182
The market is highly oversaturated with leet codefags who never organized their own projects or worked with others as a team
You might as well be practicing walking on 2 feet in terms of how much that helps you getting a job

Keep in mind that the majority of people aren't thinking about you when you're not there, so don't overthink any interactions or dwell on what was said. Just do.

>t. quiet guy that has to teach new employees the job several times a year
>>
>>107506734
the first step is to start talking to people... for fucking real. There is no improvement on shit if you run away from shit
>>
>>107509203
I'm just nervous. I don't think I have enough projects to talk about code with, and I onlyknow basic things since anything complicated (like anything beyond using modules other than a template) I use Google or chatgpt for.
>Just make projects bro
It's hard because I forget things and if I use chatgpt I'm basically forfeiting being able to put it on my GitHub.
I only have like 3 coding projects for a video game mod 2 years ago.
>>
>>107506820
You have to be lucky. Do you have weird interests? Then don't bother, just embrace your nerdy side and try to connect with other quiet people, otherwise you can't be yourself. When I was younger, I liked people like you. I'd adopt them to our group. At least I could enjoy anime, yugioh and Pokémon with them.

But in reality, you are fucked, unless you really try to be more open, just talk to other weirdos, you should be able to spot other spergs.

Just be patient, read the docs of whatever framework, tool, language or whatever you want to use, and I mean read it well
>It's hard because I forget things
lmao, you think that's ever gonna change? Show me something I coded 6 months ago and I probably know jackshit about it.
People say to comment your shit for a reason. Some go even a step further and make an architecture schematic on drawio.
>I only have like 3 coding projects for a video game mod 2 years ago.
So, go back on modding if that's motivator. People have gotten straight up hired by the company of the game they're modding when they're dedicated enough.
Hell as the name implies Garry's Mod was a mod and he turned it into a well known franchise.
>>
>>107510647
I just want to get hired by a company that I live close to, I don't have big dreams anymore of going out of state. That being said, I'm 24 and I should take advantage of this by trying my hardest both in and outside of my classes.
Unfortunately I'm not sure beyond college and asking for an internship if there's anyway I can guarantee that. My parents do so much and I would like to get a career, you know? I don't know what else I'd like to do in my life and I feel so nervous if I'm good enough.

learn to play pool. worked for me. unironically. i started making friends in bars over pool and thats how i learned to socialize properly (pool is ok to be autismal near because lots of excellent pool players are autismal)

Puerto rico is america but you don't have to pay any federal income tax. It's actually gigabased if you can wfh there
>>
>>107506734
find your crowd, i made tons of friend with the psychedelic comunity, especialy at ALPS (swiss psychedelic conference).
anyway, go to place like minded people would pm.
>>
Become a regular somewhere you find enjoyable. I met all my friends at local bars that run video game tourneys and shit.
>>
idk i have the same problem i guess
the normal people are boring and the people with similar interests are all dysgenic freaks
