I primarily ask this, because for a large part of my life, I have found it hard to build meaningful friendships with neurotypicals. I don’t know any autistic people in real life, but wonder if it would be easier for me to build friendships with them?
Or maybe this has more to do with general struggles of being autistic, rather than how alike I am to others. However, I always find neurotypicals don’t really go deep in conversation, but they enjoy small talk. Yet, I’m the complete opposite.
What has been your experience?
NT here, find it easiet to talk to other NT people. I have to shift my thinking to communicate with NB people on their level. With other NT people it’s automatic.
Not sure why this got so many down votes. But interesting getting a perspective from the other side.
It looks like it got only one downvote but maybe my instance isn’t federating with the downvoters.
