I’m bipolar type 1 and I share a great many traits with people who are autistic. I’ve narrowed down the difference in our experiences into the same sensory processing issues from opposite directions. One example: Very broad, inaccurate terms, my friends do not understand other people’s emotional state. I understand emotions very deeply but my own emotions are over-reactive and intense, they are useless in reading and understanding other people. Both my autistics friends and I have had to learn social skills by logic, rather than intuition.
