To add onto emeralddawn45’s response, studies have shown that communication within groups of all autistic people is just as effective as communication within groups of all allistic people. It’s mixed groups where communication becomes less effective. https://doi.org/10.1177/1362361320919286
In my experience, this extends beyond just communication. Every social aspect is easier with other autistic folks and more difficult with allistic folks. Yet we’re constantly told we have poor social skills by allistic people, who don’t recognize that they are equally part of the social difficulty equation.
