Despite being 41 y/o, I’ve never been married. Still, I had one relationship with a partner that was 5-6 years long, and I still maintain friendly contact with her. We can spend hours talking on the phone despite that I generally hate talking on the phone. I jokingly refer to her as my exwife. Now, that I know what to look for, I’m certain she’s autistic. My favorite friends are autistic as well. They speak just like me. They have cool obsessions with interesting topics just like me. They share similar confusions with social matters just like me. I think I just get along better with us because we understand each other on a deeper level. I have no anger or judgement towards NTs, and I have NT friends that are great people with admirable characteristics and contributions. Nobody is better or worse. However, when it comes to developing that deep friendship bond, I seem to mostly do it with us.
