It’s actually exhausting having friends that aren’t autistic and just don’t understand me

Yeah, u gotta find people who understand you to a point that you’re comfortable with. If you have to always close the gap thats not healthy or fair to you. Nuerotypical people who make an effort to “close the gap” do exist! I’ve met a few who put an effort in to understanding and accept certain behaviors as well as hobbies and interests. They started out as work acquaintances and now over time have become social friends.
