Do autistic enjoy the company of other autistics?

As an autistic man myself it depends on the autistic person. Autism manifests itself in everyone differently. Some of them are cool people and easy to get along with but simply aren't the most suave or witty people or might have a mild tic or simply speak in a monotone voice. Maybe their movements are stiff. Okay cool.

Other autistics can be insufferable. They can be downright rude without any respect to others' personal space or privacy. Some don't know when to shut the fuck up.

Keep in mind that I'm mainly speaking about higher functioning autistics who can have conversations, graduate high school, and hold down jobs.

I have Aspergers and I find other other autistic people kind of exhausting sometimes. That's why I can't blame non-autistic people for not wanting to put up with our bullshit.

I am not sure what my mental health status is, but I will say that there is a person in the autistic spectrum that I have been around a lot recently and he is one of the most intelligent and kind people I have ever come across, so I’d say I definitely do enjoy their company. More than neurotypical company to be honest, when I was a child from the ages of 0-5 my best friend across the street was autistic. He is also an amazing person, but I moved away so we lost touch.

I feel like in general I would relate more with a person who has autism than with a person who does not

Edit: also didn’t realize I’m drunk and came to this from your comment on my post. Shit on me all you want

It's not like i always enjoy talking to other autistics or can make friends with them, but this is still way easier than talking to almost any neurotypical, especially considering that autistics are rarer

I think you should replace autistic with Introvert

It's good to know most of us are not autistic
