Are autistic people nice people?

I’m curious about how autistic people are perceived socially, particularly around ideas like “niceness” and friendliness, which can be quite subjective and culturally defined.

From your own experiences, how do you interpret or experience interactions with autistic people? Do you think differences in communication style affect how autistic people are perceived as “nice” or not?

For those who have autistic friends (or are autistic themselves), what do you value in those friendships? What do you think autistic people often bring to relationships that might be overlooked or misunderstood?

I don't believe I've had autistic friends and don't seek autistic people out as potential friends so I'm curious to know whether other people are the similar.

  • My bad. I shouldve mentioned thats also how I judge someone being nice or not. Through the idea of Common decency

    If you are simply asking for real world examples of someone being nice, like saying something nice or doing something nice, i`m not really sure why you need those from me

    the example you used about taking your shoes off is pretty ridiculous and your concept of someone being nice or not seems weak af. Try chatgpt for whatever it is you are trying to get from this
