People with limited social skills from being on the autism spectrum.

Heck, everyone could use a pen pal. It would be nice to have someone you could write back and forth too.

Purse-boy already gave a great answer with "everyone", so I commented and gave points on that one. But I'll add that there are many elderly folks who LOVE to write letters and receive them. Each day I talk with my 81 yr old mother and part of her "social life" is what comes and goes in the mail. Wonderful thing for all concerned .. pen, paper, envelopes and stamps. And let us not forget .. the notion .. that "somebody cares .. takes time .. to share .. and to listen". Very, very important to know - and have - in one's life. In general, penpals can be identical to us or worlds apart different. Same age group or a couple generations away in either direction. An adventure to be sure. Given what I said above .. I think it would be great to find safe ways (maybe via a local Senior Center or a branch of AARP or similar retirement association in a given country) to "link" elderly people who are alert, able, interested .. with others (of any age) who want to find an elderly penpal. I'd sign up! :) Great question!

all of us could benefit from having a penpal, but, i think that those confined to their homes or nursing homes, the mentally ill, those in the service (or family members), those going to college the first semester or two, those going to jail for the first several months, those in hospitals, those in hospice
