New to Autism Forums

I had asked the TECH. resource 'Chat GPT' the following:

How can the arts - painting, drawing, sculpture can help adults with High-Functioning Autism "break the ice" in developing friendships?

ANSWER: Five summarized points to original (lengthy) post of Chat-GPT's advice on friendships via shared activities:

-Engaging in various art forms like painting, drawing, and sculpture can be beneficial for adults with High-Functioning Autism (HFA) in developing friendships and "breaking the ice."

-Shared interests: Participating in art-related activities can attract like-minded individuals who share an interest in creativity and aesthetics.

-Discussing artistic techniques, inspirations, or favorite artists can open up dialogue and lead to deeper connections with others.

-Icebreaker during conversations: Art can become a natural topic of conversation, even for those who might find small talk challenging.

How might 'Chat Gpt's' content augment human perpecives here on the 'Autism Forums?'
Thank-you for your feedback:

Any further perspectives on the arts - painting, drawing, sculpture can help adults with High-Functioning Autism "break the ice" in developing friendships?
 
What criteria (for lack of a better word) is considered for potential friendships in arts programs?

I feel people who've had experiences with High Fuctioning Autism (NT like) would be favorable for friendships.

Any perspectives?
Oh, maybe you are looking to join meetings of in-person groups. I have absolutely zero xp with that unfortunately as far as the autistic community goes, but in America there should be much more meetings typically.
