 In order for you to have a good, vulnerable, open dialogue between two people, it needs to be reciprocal. And part of that may be, if you're neurotypical, learning about autism, learning about how we work, how we think, the things that are different in our baseline level of communicating with people and the world. On the other side, autistic people, we do tend to struggle in a lot of key areas, particularly for relationships I've found was cognitive empathy and alexifimia.
