Are there people with whom you don't have problems talking?

It's just me or do you also have some kind of people whom are *a lot* easier to talk with?

I mean, they always understand me perfectly, I can easily express myself without being afraid of talking something wrong or something taken as an offense and things like this. The conversation flows normally like I haven't any issue.
And they are not aspies.

If you've noticed it too, what kind of person you think it is?

People who are different, for some reason or another--any reason, really. I theorize that this is because they, like me, spend their lives communicating with people who are different from themselves and so don't have the same lack of practice issue that's faced by many people who are more in the mainstream.

I find it easy to talk with my mom's coworkers. Everybody at her job loves her and they know I'm autistic, so they're especially kind to me. In fact, I'm actually becoming really good friends with the ones who are close to my age. They're even starting to invite me to hang out with them now!

Yes there are people out there who I can easily carry on a conversation with. My parents are an example and my husband. None of them are autistic. Then there are various people who I have gotten along with well.

Yes, and they tend to be sensitive, introspective people who share some kind of interest with me. Some are also autistic, but others aren't at all.

Males over 50 years of age. They like me and I like talking to them, though for very different reasons.
Also, male nerds or tech freaks of any age, provided that they don't try to hit on me. I was the only one who could actually talk to our office electrician and understand what he's been saying. The man had got everyone else totally pissed off before I took over.

Women, however, freak me out and I avoid meeting them any way I can.

I cannot believe how many quirks others have on this forum that I can relate to. I find that certain people are actually enjoyable while others are painful. Most people are painful for me to interact with. Some are just neutral. The ones I find easiest are males, females over 50 and essentrics (generally speaking, of course there are exceptions).

Why is this? Less competition? I really havent figured this one out but oh wow I am not the only one!

No.

old people. thats about it, i dont even think i'd get along with talking to another aspie

Some people I can talk to - about things neither deep nor important.. A lot do not even pretend to listen. A very few get it and transmit back

People between the ages of 20-60. Gender doesn't matter.

I usually find it easy to chat with male tradies (e.g. builders, sparkies). I think it's their relaxed, happy nature - I just feel more comfortable around them than I do with a lot of other people.

Not really in the way that you describe, but I find the easiest people to talk to by far are the narcissistic. The type of people that talk endlessly about themselves, their own opinions or long stories.

The conversation is not rewarding, if i tried to explain something they would likely misunderstand, but the conversation is so much less demanding. They need very little input to keep going, and more often than not they drop endless hints about the key topic to keep them going.

You are a bystander more than anything, but for something like a co-worker where you are forced to interact, they are by far the easiest.

Even with my close friends I find myself sometimes saying stuff that makes me wanna slap myself. They accept me though, cuz they know I am weird.

I get along best with other "weird" people.

I can talk very easily to my mother, probably cuz she just lets me go on and on. It's not really like a conversation, just me talking AT her.

Every now and then I will meet someone I can talk to. They are usually "weird" in some way.
