hanging out with other autistic people exists on a scale from “instantly drift compatible” to “lithium and water”
at the aut4aut hangout: i’ve known this person for five minutes and yet somehow it’s like we each understand each others’ entire lives. we have a perfect synthesis of interests and are bothered by all the same things
also at the aut4aut hangout: i’ve known this person for five minutes and yet i know with absolute certainty that there could be no person in the world i would get along with less. the way they stim makes me want to die and the feeling is mutual. we have absolutely zero opinions in common and both of us seem baffled as to how the other could even exist.
