I get along with Autistics better, but mainly because we cope with social situations in a similar way.
In my case, we play a lot of board games and video games. We can socialize without requiring smalltalk or eye contact. If there is no such activity planned, we don’t get together, and nobody is offended.
My spouse is NT, which has been great as we complement each other.
Most of my friends are on the spectrum though, because we have a similar range of interests and tolerance for social interaction.
