I don’t know what to ask people to get to know them

Wiktor

Wiktor is a 33-year-old autistic man who works at a center for autistic adults in Gdynia, Poland. He often finds getting to work stressful, due to the noises and smells on crowded public transportation. He also sometimes encounters aggressive people who target him for being different.

Wiktor would like to spend more time being social and enjoying leisure activities. But he says that he needs more guidance, both on how to talk to people and to find activities suitable for his interests.

"I wish there were special clubs for people like me, based on our interests."
