After graduating High School I feel emptiness and loneliness. There's more stuff to it but I want to keep them to myself. Just tell me it'll be okay. That's all. Thank you

I'm not autistic myself but my wife is.

It takes time but you'll find your way to live a happy life. Whether it be friends you'll feel comfortable enough to be yourself around, a job that suits you, a lovely and supportive SO if you need one, a place to live and enough hobbies to keep focused.

You'll be ok, mate.
