has this happened to you before? tell me the story if it has.
for me, most of my entire irl friend group is autisitc. my friends from highschool all ended up diagnosed including me lol if not then its peer reviewed studied lmao.
my husband is autisitc and our best friend from highschool that he has been close with since middle school. my neighbor is high masking and we got close too. for me i think it's just autisitc people feel amazingly comfortable around each other naturally if we know the other's diagnosis or not.
even an old lady i had did a caregiving job for was openly autisitc with me. it was so sweet to unmask and help her sort her medicine jars and we could just talk to each other normally without all the scripts and everything. swag!
