(Quick note: Even though this episode and the previous one is titled Autism and Friendship, I believe that some, if not all of these reasons affect people of other neurotypes.) I found an article on the Ambitious About Autism website called 10 reasons people with autism struggle with friendships.

Isn’t it funny how often writers like to imagine that they have distilled a problem down to a precise number of reasons? I am sure that is not the intent of the writer, but when I read that I take it to literally mean that there are only ten reasons, but they are probably just discussing the ten reasons they are aware of when it comes to the problems that autistic people have with friendships. Today I am going to go through reasons 6-10.
