Andrew has grown up with high functioning autism. He was afraid that he would spend his entire life without making a real connection with someone or have friends the way other “regular people” have relationships. He was afraid that he would be made fun of for being different. Recently Andrew was able to challenge his fear when his mom found a autistic group that meets up for events. It felt scary at first to go but the second Andrew stepped foot into the meetup he knew that his fear of not ever being able to make real friends was just in his mind and that he soon would form relationships and friendships with people in this group.
