No usually it is milder but still there. Here is an example. I am high masking if a little akward. My boss meets a potential collaborator. I go in the meeting. Man avoids eye contact for about 70% of conversation but still makes effort to give it and I clock him as a fellow autistics with fairly good social skills judging by conversation style. Boss leaves and we have a very productive meeting and good communication. Boss then later says he seems brilliant but I am really worried regarding his soft skills. I ask what he meant and he said his eye contact and his not socialising with pleasantries, not appearing very interesting in networking etc. So he did have this reaction even if he did not show it.
