Her sister is more of the under the radar female autist that just wants to fit in and has made it her autistic focus. The girl talking on the other hand has shunned the external for the internal. She's more honest with herself and self-effacing.
I'm a dude, but I came to a similar conclusion and outcome with people who I once considered my best friends and other good friends. They liked me only because of the humor I bought to them. They liked me because of my advice. They liked me because of my skillsets. But did they ever really know me, the real me? Nope. They had no interest in doing that. When I opened up more and stopped masking as much, I was misunderstood and met with hostility. Then I learned to enjoy my own company more after I left them behind. I make such a sincere strong effort to be understood correctly that if people misunderstand me that it's them, not me, and nothing is going to change that.
>OP's questionAlready did. Were already together. It's great, although long distance, but we connect on enough things that I understand her and she understands me. It was kind of difficult at first, because I'm more high functioning than she is, but as we got to know each other more and more, she's the only one I can see myself with long term.
That young lady in the webm is gonna have to come to the same point I did. And once you stop caring about that kind of stuff while going to places both online and irl where similar minds come together, she'd naturally attract the kind of people who'd be a good fit for her.
