But at the same time, if autism isn't making understanding reading people easily, then I'd both suggest looking into social aids on the web for your conditions and experience so you engrain it.
As for friendships being cheap? No, I've had little close friends in life, it's made me treasure them even more in the end. I keep a close group of contact even in these times of the pandemic, because I care about them. I can't really speak for most people though either, as I'm no collective, nor am I perfectly wired right either to be normal.
If you wanna start making friends, I suggest looking into what interests you, and seeing if you can extend it somehow into involving strangers who share it initially. Have a hobby? See who else does, look for resources or groups who have interests in common. Like a private activity? See if you can't make it more public, see if another human element can be added.
