Hobbies?
I don't know if this is the right place to post this but I'll give it a shot. I (23) am moving to my mom's (temporarily) for a month before starting my Master's in September. The problem is I have nothing to do in August and it's making me anxious. Does a lack of structure affect other women on the spectrum? (I am not formally diagnosed but am on a three-year waitlist as my province is underfunded.) The other problem is that I have no friends where my mom lives as she moved there during a pandemic and I will be moving again later that month. I am trying to find some hobbies to try for August, but it seems like it will be a long month. Does anyone have any suggestions for some hobbies to try? I have already reached out to a few places in regards to volunteering for August.

Give yourself a schedule. Eg times to go for a walk, read books, listen to podcasts etc.
My hobbies are all long-term stuff eg playing piano, sewing, knitting.
What about knitting or crocheting? Small items that aren't a time & materials investment. I find knitting to have meditative benefits
