My friends on the spectrum have been very open about themselves. They didn't care if I followed social conventions. They were very loyal to me, perhaps because they haven't had many friends. They did not try to be funny, which was good because when people make jokes I don't really know how to respond other than smiling and saying nothing. Also, the ones I've met were "nice" and nonjudgmental.

What do you love about the spectrum and people you've met on it?

That most people on the spectrum would rather be themselves than follow the trends.
