Well said. We have our quirks and weaknesses, but we can get along with people and have relationships. As you said, “Just be yourself.” Sometimes we have to do things differently from what the neurotypicals typically do. For me, socializing is hard so I can really only developing a relationship by doing things together. I just don’t talk much, even with the people I’m closest to. When I’m with my family or my childhood friends, I feel welcome and included even if I say little.
