Spotting each other in public

Is it just me, or does anyone else have the ability to snense other autistic people you’ve never met before?

Like, it could be an autistic person I’ve never had any previous interaction with and somehow, I always turn out to be right whenever I think hey, I think this person is autistic. Usually conermed by them. I feel like we give off a certain energy signature that I pick up on. Not sure how else to explain it, but I’ve even been able to pick up on it with those who are very heavy maskers.

I really love it. Many times, it results in me having the lovely experience of being able to connect with other autistic people. Sometimes this results in friendships being formed. At the very least, it ends with very plesant conversations and interactions. Love that. Usually, I’m wearing one of my autistic pride pins or something of the like, so often times, they will slow down or stop to read what I have on and it starts a conversation. Fun times.
