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?

    Neurodivergent peapole are much easier to talk to in my opinion. They can always be interesting in their own ways. Some of my best friends in life are neurodivergent and I don’t have a problem with that. Just let people be who they are and don’t hate on anyone.
