Do you think that Autistic people / children tend to gravitate more towards other Autistic people even if they don't realise it, and get on better with them?
Last year I discovered that it is highly likely that I am autistic, then recently I learnt that one of my friends (introvert like me) who was my best friend during primary school (I had 2 friends in total, didn't end up in the same secondary school as them) is also highly likely to be autistic. I thought that was really interesting. My friend was never put off by any of my weirdness, we never asked questions about each other's family, I didn't ask if she got up to anything with her family when I wasn't hanging out with her, she didn't ask me either (I don't recall us asking each other how we were), I went on a few days out with her and a couple of holidays (involved part of the time staying with their family) with her and her dad (I might have been her support as well as company), we spent a lot of time at her house and mostly did things that she liked (e.g. PlayStation), at my house we did things that I liked or came up with (e.g board games, batting garden apples over neighbour's fence). Oh and we both unknowingly bought the same top with a cat on and the same dressing gown.
