Is it normal to feel happy to meet other people with autism on this site?

I think it's normal, and healthy to enjoy connecting with people to whom you can relate.

I prefer talking to autistics over neurotypicals.

OP is NormalJudge64, right?

I think it's good for people to connect with others on here. Theres enough of us here to at least find one friend. Especially if you are weird!

I honestly don't usually like interacting with people when the interest only lies in perceived mental capacity

I'm on the spectrum with Asperger's, but I'm on the same side of the bell curve as Einstein and Mozart; I'm a genius in my own way and find it difficult to really relate to anyone on superficial similarities

I've also spent most of my life relying on myself so a lot of the "oh we have the same diagnosis!" mentalities I see are kinda bizarre to me, as well as a lot of other things people just seem to think is normal like pop culture. I still don't fully understand what vines are besides short comedic videos strung together and why I'm such a fucking disgraceful faux pas for not being enthralled by their discovery.

I spent like two years really studying psychology and myself and deconstructing unhealthy mental traits and building positive ones all while going crazy with cabin fever living in a car that financially kept me homeless, and more time after that fine tuning everything mentally while increasing my income and working towards housing. Now I'm working on goals like getting furniture, dental work, and a cat and whatever else because at the end of the day I want to be satisfied with my life and there is literally no one else who could shoulder my responsibility

I literally only found out about tiktok earlier this year but apparently it's the greatest thing ever. Like that has no importance to me whatsoever. I would rather brush up on some psychology, budget my income, slave away at work, play a game on my phone. There's a quote I'm sensing I just can't remember the words, but like I try to integrate things that stimulate and expand my consciousness. If all either of us can be excited about when meeting each other is that we're not neurotypical then it's probably not going to be an enjoyable interaction. Maybe a lot of it is because I've been isolated for so long I don't have the practical experience fostering amicable rapport or the reference for why it's beneficial to form baseless relationships, but I do know people can fuck you over easily and mutual gain helps build camaraderie. That's why I like that I'm drawn to people I think can augment my reality, it gives me really good reason to be at my best and gives me opportunity to practice maintaining that relationship. It's been kind of lonely, but I accept that loneliness is something I have to overcome, especially if I'm gonna do the things I want to accomplish

You need to talk to a therapist, psychologist, get tested (it's like an IQ test but a little different)

I was diagnosed when I was really young if you think you might have it then I would suggest seeing someone like a physician.
