    If you meet a vaguely autistic hottie who is into you, under no circumstances fumble. I don’t usually feel qualified to take my unsolicited life advice that seriously, but I mean it this time.

        The thing is, if you’re autistic it’s super easy to find out who’s neurodivergent - it’s everyone you’ve ever vibed with.

        If you’re not, you probably already wanted to stop talking to me.

          Kinda weird that 3 people that I vibed the most in the past either are not in the spectrum, or are on a wholly different level of masking it, because they’re super charismatic

            I harbour a conviction that charisma is largely a skill, but being extroverted makes it easier to acquire. One of my best friends is a prom king daredevil life of the party type, but I know him pretty well after 3 decades. He’s bipolar, extroverted, and knows exactly the way to put up a front that will get people in a party mood - which is something he only does during a manic phase. When the high gives way to the low, he turns into more of the spooky enigmatic recluse type. The trick is to befriend both.
