hacks PDF book from autismhacks.net.

Completely for free.
All right guys.
I wanted to do this video.
Cause I get so many questions.
So many people ask me to say, Dan how do I make friends?
How do I make friends?
How do I make friendship relationships last?
How do I do all these things?
You know, what is it?
What is the key to making friends?
Well, look, there's no special sauce.
Making friends is difficult because anything that's worth having
should be a bit of hard work.
Right.
And that's kind of like a motto.
I live my life by, so it's not going to be easy to make friends, but
it's definitely going to be doable.
So everything is doable.
So I have listed down three of the main components that I really think yeah.
Help maintain, make, and create friendships for long lasting awesomeness.
Okay.
So here we go.
The first one here is like-minded interest.
Now, this is the first thing you need to do.
You need to try and find people who have the same interests as you, and this
could be going to events or meetups, or even going online and trying to find
Facebook groups with people in your same.
John are of interest like, um, I I'm really into iPads.
So I go to iPad forums on Facebook.
I find iPod groups on Facebook and I made some friends on there.
I skateboard with the boosted board when the weather doesn't suck.
And I go onto electronic skateboard groups on Facebook.
And I talk to people and I met a guy in there who was really cool.
And he came down and we skated together.
And then he went to London and got me a boosted board t-shirt.
That was cool.
And this is how you make friends.
It's a tried and tested method, be involved in the groups of the subjects
and the interest matters that you are into, because then you're going to find
like-minded people who are going to be.
Already on the same wave on for you.
They're gonna be thinking the same stuff as you do think we want to hang out.
It's the best way to make friendships and the quickest way to make friendships.
So honestly, don't skimp on this.
So number two, it is super important when making friends to be, um,
to do everything you can to be completely honest, transparent.
And nice.
You want to be nice with people because you want people to think
that you're horrible in any way.
So be nice to people, you know, be honest, if they ask you questions,
be honest, give honesty because honesty is the best policy.
And the only thing you cannot improve upon is the truth,
which is what my father says.
So if you want to maintain friendships and how friends.
Be nice and kind with them and always be honest with them because
they'll respect you for being honest.
And if there's anything that autistic people do best and that's
being honest and kind and nice.
Okay.
So number three, in my little toolbox here of things to make friends, help,
maintain and create friendships is listen.
So number three is, listen.
Aspergers can present some issues in knowing when to talk, when it's your
turn to talk, you know, how long you talk for, when do you stop talking?
You know, and.
Loads of stuff, right.
And this can make it look like, it seems like y'all not listening to
the other person's conversation.
Right.
Because whenever he tells you anything, then they, it comes from
a place of importance from them.
It's important for them to tell you, and it's important for you
to receive that information.
If you're going to be friends with these people and pivot on
that and go, okay, I get it.
You know, it's important for you and I get it.
So by doing that, you are actually.
Um, you're when by listening, you're actually maintaining and strengthen
your relationship with a friend.
So what you want to do is do your best to listen to them.
It's important that your friends respond.
So the conversations that you've asked, and also when they're talking,
you respond to their conversation, always listen, it's super important
and they'll respect you for it.
And they will do the same to you.
They listen to you.
You listened to them, you have a conversation.
This is how it works.
And this is how you maintain long lasting friendships, which is super dope.
