Guarantee finger guns is one of the "signs you might be bisexual" too.

Huh, that first one feels more like Schizoid personality disorder. My impression is that, while autistic people can struggle to make and keep friends, they do generally still want to have the same amount of friends as an allistic person.

Chest pain is a symptom of dozens of diseases. Difficulty making friends is also a sign of many things. A list of common signs and symptoms might be helpful, people should seek the advice of experts for an actual diagnosis.

I specifically called out not 'difficulty' in making friends, but 'desire' to make friends. As far as I'm aware, autistic people still desire friends usually.
