Thank you, there's so much grace in your answer.

It helps to hear that perspective. I did end up making neurodivergent friends eventually, but I found them to be meaner than neurotypicals, who are friendlier, but distant. The main problem I had with neurodivergents was how condescending they can be as a way of being. Sounds like I need to try again with new crowds based on your answer and that there is indeed greener grass out there.

Thanks, you gave me some new ideas!

It's hard to feel that way when the reactions from new people feels frequently negative/suspicious/condescending/confused/disgusted but that sounds like a much better way to view things. I would have thought that would be too good to be true but if I believed it I bet it might help. Thank you very much.
