The idea of being around a group of fellow autists just… Sounds nice you know?

Probably down to that thing us humans do where likes attract. You see this phenomenon especially with trans women.

You sit a trans woman down in an empty room, check back an hour later, and you’ll find three extra trans women who somehow popped into existence. They just congregate you know? Spontaneous generation!

Silly metaphor aside, interacting with fellow autists just… Feels nice!

    Wish that’s how it worked. sadness

    I think, at least with trans women, it’s just as much about safety as it is about comfort. Trans women are way less likely to trigger their fellows’ dysphoria, treat them as “other”, or be transphobic in some way or another, especially without taking accountability. Trans women can also constitute each others’ support network, helping with stuff like hormone procurement. I’m sure neurodivergent people have similar concerns.
