Yes. This is completely natural. Every neurodivergent support group I was in went dry very quickly.

I have pretty different interests and personality than most other autistic people I've met. I get along perfectly, but I just don't relate much to them.

yes all the time, i feel like I have different interests from the vast majority of autistic people/i was able to develop social hypervigilance and it's hard to let go of around people with no social awareness whatsoever

One of the things I hate about social media neurodiversity is that it acts like we’re all the same and will all get along with each other. I hate those posts about how people can tell someone else is neurodivergent because they get along with them or whatever

i feel like i can never have a deep connection. a lot of the times conversations feel very surface level i prefer getting to know people and learning about their life but a lot of the times its feels like i am talking to a tiktok comment section.

Depends on the individual. Neurodivergence is not only a huge spectrum with many disability labels but it also comes down to individual personalities.

For me it’s that I get along more with, and I really hate to say this, people who don’t seem to revolve around their neurodivergence and habits. Like a lot of people who I click with don’t know they have it or they are, again really hate to say this, “high functioning.” I can get along with all walks of neurodivergence, but for some reason some do that meme where you automatically hate someone 1% more autistic than you.
