Autism 101 :autism: :verified:

If you are not autistic and know someone who is, it would be really nice if you tried to become friends with them. Because according to science, we get immediately rejected as “friend material” in seconds.

NatureNeurotypical Peers are Less Willing to Interact with Those with Autism based on Thin Slice Judgments - Scientific ReportsIndividuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), including those who otherwise require less support, face severe difficulties in everyday social interactions. Research in this area has primarily focused on identifying the cognitive and neurological differences that contribute to these social impairments, but social interaction by definition involves more than one person and social difficulties may arise not just from people with ASD themselves, but also from the perceptions, judgments, and social decisions made by those around them. Here, across three studies, we find that first impressions of individuals with ASD made from thin slices of real-world social behavior by typically-developing observers are not only far less favorable across a range of trait judgments compared to controls, but also are associated with reduced intentions to pursue social interaction. These patterns are remarkably robust, occur within seconds, do not change with increased exposure, and persist across both child and adult age groups. However, these biases disappear when impressions are based on conversational content lacking audio-visual cues, suggesting that style, not substance, drives negative impressions of ASD. Collectively, these findings advocate for a broader perspective of social difficulties in ASD that considers both the individual’s impairments and the biases of potential social partners.

l was reflecting with @nm how hard it is to make friends as an adult. By the time you're done work you only have so much time left in the day to socialize. Add that to an introverted personality plus neurodivergent tendencies…. It becomes pretty much impossible to meet new people.

So, I thought l'd use this wonderful social network that my husband created to not only acknowledge how tricky it can be to make friends but to say, that if you're looking to meet someone new then #youvegotafriendinme
