@KaCi @autistics
Our pool is very small. I am 40 myself and it took me years to realize that i can only have autistic/audhd friends. It just don't works with other people at all. Same works with relationships. If we have a similiar Topic to monofocus on, its a deal. Everything else just ends in me Maskind extremly hard to be accepted and failing.
In the past i thought i just have to play pretend to work better with other people which leads to not working at all.

@KaCi @autistics And that is something to wrap my head around. Becuse i learned to adapt, to mask in my childhood. And it is very hard to break those things in my head that did not work out for me. And then i met some people who are just as strange as i feel every day and suddenly we can talk for hours. We have fun together. We feel great together. And still there are so many neurotypical standards to throw over board.
