So I’m a girl and I’m pretty sure I have autism and I struggle so hard making girl friends. I find it a lot easier to talk and chill with guys. I think it’s due to their blunt nature? Do other people have the same issue?

SAME! It’s SO hard to make women friends! It’s hard to communicate that idea though because I don’t want to be a “pick me”

Men on average are more blunt and have much less hidden meaning and subtext in what they say. With women a lot of the times the smallest thing can mean a very large thing that I just miss

Yesssss you get it like I’ve had so many times with one of my girl friend ( she’s an og love her to bits) where we would text or talk and she would just blow up randomly. Like saying something like “ I figured you would think that way” would rub her the wrong way or just my lack of tone in texting. This able has been fixed and we talk mostly on call now, but the biggest drama I’ve ever had was always with girls

Don’t get me wrong I’ve had drama with men as well, but it is very easy to deal with as they will ( most the time) tell you straight up what’s happening

Yes literally. Like one slight word change and suddenly the entire meaning changes. They also tend to think more things are “weird” in comparison to guys. That or they just care more but I feel like I get called weird much more by women

It’s honestly exhausting trying to build long term friendships as a girl on the spectrum. I feel like I’m constantly misreading the social nuances of female friend groups, which leads to endless drama. But when I pivot to hanging out with guys, I’m stuck with the “pick me” label or the inevitable complication of them catching feelings. It feels like there’s no safe social space where I can just exist. I’m happy to find someone else

I hang out with my boyfriend’s friends and they call my attributes epic and whimsical lol. A much different tune compared to most girls I’ve first met

Yes!!! I totally agree! I’m either a pick me or my guy friends catch feelings. I think I’ve had a total of like 2 guy friends ever that didn’t catch feelings. They always I’m “different” but I think that’s just because I express myself and not because I’m this like super awesome cool girl or whatever. It can be really frustrating because it’s hard to build an intimate relationship (platonic) with someone and once you finally do, 9.5/10 they admit feelings. I know it’s not their fault but it’s
