To be clear here, I'm am not considering being on the spectrum to be a negative. There are big advantages such as not getting caught in social contagions.

But, to clarify, are you agreeing that autistic people are less 'social' or just saying that they are differently social? ...are you saying that because they are differently social they get ostracized and become 'anti-social'?

Differently social.. Yes it causes issues. There is a growing body of research on the double empathy problem along these lines. Stuff like this:https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/13623613231219743#:~:text=Non%2Dautistic%20interactions%20and%20participants,Lay%20Abstract
