As a blind neurotypical I want to express that actually I find a lot of small talk & social niceties a faff. But I'm aware being able to navigate it is a privilege.
But the directness & validation many of my wonderful autistic friends bring to our relationship is just refreshingly beautiful.

For example, I often ask autistic pals to help be a sighted guide at events because we both value efficient communication.
You're absolutely right, autistics tend to communicate far more efficiently. Saves so much energy.
Amongst my friendships perhaps it's just that we both value transparent communication rather than social code gymnastics.
As a blind person I don't get that
Just be yourself 💕 👍
I struggle with figuring out how I'm supposed to arrange my face or whatever. Now I'm 👨🦼 it's very different how people communicate with me. 🙄 communication is weird. Glad you have found your peeps. 👍
