No it isn’t! I’m an introverted neurodivergent person and therapists encourage this type of thing.

@@Lucy-WestenraI know that they do, but it has only made my stress levels go up, as a person with autism. Trying to communicate with people and think of what to say is a mental workload instead of a relaxing experience for someone who requires a lot of effort to communicate with people. I don’t think that this happens as much with people with ADHD though; it seems to mostly be an autism thing. I have also found that hardly any doctors or therapists know much about autism. They are just given a checklist of autistic traits to look for but don’t understand what those traits mean. If socializing causes autistic people more stress then telling them to socialize more isn’t the best option. Unless maybe if the autistic person only leaves the house once or twice a month. But if we go out and work multiple days a week and have one best friend that we talk to once a week, it all seems to count as socializing in my mind.

What about being comfortable being alone. I think more ppl need to learn to spending time alone. It helps ppl understand and learn about themselves.

5 people per week?!! This is a great example of what the difference is between autistic people and neurotypical people; and why it doesn’t work when a neurotypical person says that, “Everybody gets socially burned out once in a while.” And I am just thinking, “Yeah, once in a while; as compared to being socially exhausted 4 or 5 days a week, even if we get to work alone for periods of time during our shift.” And the older I get, the less outings and the less phone calls that I can handle. It can even be more exhausting for me to go out and visit someone than if I were to work that day instead. And the only way that I can feel connected to people is if we go deeper than small talk, one-on-one instead of being in a group; which would probably require me to go visit people multiple times a week. But yeah, 5 just sounds completely crazy to me, and not realistic (I have tried many many times before). But I wouldn’t be surprised if it sounds completely normal to a neurotypical person. Apparently some people even find socializing to be energizing! 🤯😶

People on here complaining should listen to everything she says in detail. She clearly says its more like a guideline and differs on individual level.
Also take a moment to actually think about your own social interactions in a week, you will likely find that you are regularly exceeding the numbers. Five different people each week, means just going to work is mostly enough for that – even writing once per week with your parents already gives you 2.
1h per day connecting is also not so much, but also depends on what this exactly means. I am easily spending about an hour each day just cooking and eating with my wife.
