I have been recently diagnosed as autistic, and now I seem to see autism everywhere in my social circle. My brother, a daughter, at least two friends. . . Either there are a lot of undiagnosed autistic people out there OR I tend to become friends (more comfortable) with fellow autists, OR I am just being silly and am attributing autism to NT people with strong interests. Fellow neurodivergent folks of all types, what is your experience? (Edit: changed ND to NT. oops!)

    I find that autistic people tend to attract each other the same way stand users tend to attract each other. It’s a little weird tbh.

      What’s a stand user?

        It’s a reference to the anime JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure (hahahah, I said the funny). A Stand user is a person that possesses a Stand, a sort of supernatural manifestation of one’s fighting spirit, which can take on many forms (though most commonly, they appear humanoid.)
