My autistic kids in high school can pick other neurodivergent kids out in a crowd. They are having fantastic relationships.

Not me accidentally collecting all the ND’s into a friend group. Then thinking everyone is ND. Friend pointed out my sample is skewed. 😂😂😂

Even talking to other asd people online is easier. We communicate in the same way.

I was denial about being autistic for years, as I have always been pretty social. Turns out the circles I was in were other people who had ASD/ADHD 😅

Audri :
Makes sense considering my main problem maintaining friendships is "randomly" upsetting people without knowing and them refusing to tell me what I did

Yeah I don’t have problem with ND friendships. I have problems with NT friendships. 100%.

I’m good if my friends are spicy too.

that's because Autism is not determined by how things affect us, but by how we affect Neurotypicals

I’ve heard adhd described similarly. Super neat! My failed relationships have always been communication preference mismatches.

Like the double empathy problem...

Shannon’s Shenanigans :
A lot of autistic ppl would rather be alone than hang out with mean ppl who don’t get them. It’s not a lack of interest in relationships

I need people who can friend like me. I need to be feel safe to show up inconsistently and not have that attributed to my morality.

My LARP group is full of Neuro spicy. People often comment how welcoming and friendly we all are and we adopt people quickly I’ve noticed.

My autistic stepson has a big group of ND friends. He’s better at growing those friendships that I’ve been as NT.

My son missed the diagnosis at 10 because he’s got friends and a best friend. The psychologist told us to reassess at 12 but he will be dx

This is called the ‘double empathy problem’ coined by Damian Milton

I just forget people exist - I’m so overwhelmed by daily life that I don’t maintain friendships 😞

MmeEllem :
Trouble is, I've been taught/forced to be so high masking that I don't really fit in with ND people I've met, whilst being 'other' to NTs 😔

exhaustedneurodivergent :
Can you talk about how to transition from “I like this person” to “friends” and how to maintain it? I struggle

user8980410043003 :
EVERYTHING has been NT focused, not actually listening to or understanding US. Because WE know.If we have the chance to experience and are listened to

Katie Darling :
All of my friends from school have stated later they have some level of ND. some of the few friends I have that are NT do not have that same thing

My therapist just suggested I join a nd group when I explained the years of attempting friendships unsuccessfully.

When my kid found a group of Autistic friends it was such a game changer. 💗💗💗💗

There are actually statistics that back you up. Allistic ppl get along well with other allistic ppl same as autistic ppl and other autistic ppl, 1/2

YES. People who understand me don’t shame, gaslight me, and/or aren’t confused by me.

user8676020283334 :
I maintain that close friendship with me is sufficient for a adhd dx. 😅 They all get diagnosed eventually!

There is also sometimes a difference in how many friends/relationships a person needs to feel content with their social circle.

Nova :
most of my friends are neurodivergent. we made the observation that ND people gravitate towards each other because we understand each other.

Hannah Smith :
ND ppl understand that sometimes we need to adapt to our friends and that everyone thinks differently. some NT ppl think everyone thinks the same
