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 with Autistics better, but mainly because we cope with social situations in a similar way.

In my case, we play a lot of board games and video games. We can socialize without requiring smalltalk or eye contact. If there is no such activity planned, we don't get together, and nobody is offended.
