Well here's something that doesn't surprise me in the least.
People with similar levels of autistic traits show greater social attraction to one another, and their brains synchronize in unique ways during active conversation. A recent experiment published in Biological Psychiatry suggests that social difficulties related to autism might be a problem of mismatched communication styles rather than an inherent social deficit.
This matches with our own life experience very well. It is much easier for us to be social with other autistics than to do so with neurotypical people.
