How do you get along with fellow autistic people? (lemmus.org)

From what I understand, every autistic individual is unique and different from one another, right?

We probably all have different traits from each other anyway, so it might make sense to learn more about each other in order to get along.

What are your own thoughts about this matter?

I get along better with autistic people who I can relate to better. Same with non-autistic people.

However, I can't stand autistic people who have no filter. Might sound weird, but there is a difference between unmasking in a way that benefits you versus unmasking and being a jerk about it.

Understood.
